一般的なお寺さん。
高野山真言宗のお寺です。開創は、1200年以上前との事で、お大師さんよりも古いそうです。織田信長の根来攻めの時に焼き討ちに遭い、一時は廃寺になってたそうですが、江戸時代に再興されたそうです。生駒聖天さんの御本尊様が、こちらに移されて、そのままこちらの御本尊様になられてるとか。一般の方は、知らずに生駒聖天さんの御前立ちを御本尊様と思って参拝されてる様ですね。こちらのご住職の奥様で有られる、副住職様の御法話を高野山金剛峯寺新別殿で拝聴させて頂きました。
桜がきれい!

Hoko-ji Temple is located in the southernmost part of Sakai City, closest to Izumi City, and has the youngest number, #5, among 33 Kannon Temples in Izumi Kannon Pilgrimage, which starts from Sefuku-ji Temple in Izumi City.A temple was opened here in the second half of the 8th century by En Ozunu (?634-?701). In the first half of the 8th century, Gyoki (668-449) recognized the gleaming and brightening light of Avalokitesvara in the temple, enshrined a Avalokitesvara statue there, and named it Hoko-ji Temple (namely Emitting Light Temple).On Its days, Hoko-ji Temple was one of the 3 greatest temples in Kinai Region along with Jimpo-ji and Yachu-ji Temples. But in the late 16th century, it was burnt down in a war.In 1652, Priest Chogen from Jimpo-ji Temple rebuilt the temple on a small scale. In 1872, it sold out its estate and buildings other than the main building and a couple of mud-walled storehouses. In 1914, the temple merged with Tamon-ji Temple nearby, and came to enshrine a Vaishuravana statue too.I drove up one of the crooked steep hills around the temple, straying from the path. It was at the top of the hill, with some other small shrines, but without any people. The sign told me to take a piece of red-sealed paper for 300 yen to prove my visit to the temple.
