Buddha Treasure Hall
This hall was built to enshrine a piece of one of the Buddha’s bones. In 1967, Kinpusenji was the first temple in Japan to receive one of these holy relics as an official gift from the Indian government.
This great honor was bestowed on the temple because one of the manifestations of Zao Gongen, who appeared to Shugendo founder En no Gyoja (634–701), was the Buddha.
