Mausoleum
This mausoleum is the final resting place of Myoe (1173–1232), the founder of Kosanji. Successive head priests of Kosanji are also buried here.
Inside the tomb is a gorinto (five-tier pagoda), a symbol of Kegon and esoteric Shingon Buddhist practices in Japan. The three-tiered hokyointo pagoda, built in the Kamakura period (1185–1333), stands to the far left of the mausoleum. Next to it is a smaller pagoda called nyohokyo.
Near the entrance is a stone monument engraved with Myoe’s last instruction, Arubekiyowa: “Do what should be done.”
