Kiyoshikojin Seicho-ji Temple

Overview

Kiyoshikojin Seicho-ji Temple, known locally as "Kojin-san," is famous throughout Japan as the "God of the Hearth" and "God of Fire." Founded in 896 during the Heian period, the temple's main hall houses a seated statue of Dainichi Nyorai, designated as an Important Cultural Property. Visitors can explore the expansive grounds, featuring various halls and a unique area for offering old fire tongs. Located a 15-minute walk from Hankyu Kiyoshikojin Station, the temple offers a serene escape with historical and spiritual significance. The temple is particularly vibrant during the New Year's season but offers a peaceful experience year-round. Don't miss the Tetsusai Museum (currently closed for reorganization) for art lovers.
