千体の千手観音立像が迎えてくれる“国宝”三十三間堂。

後白河上皇が離宮として建てた法住寺殿の一画に平清盛が造進されたのが蓮華王院本堂、今に言う三十三間堂で「三十三間堂」の名称は正面の柱間が33あることから通称される。

History

Rengeo-in was built by TAIRA no Kiyomori at Emperor Go-Shirakawa's behest in 1164. The temple, including the main hall and five storied pagoda, was reduced to ashes by a great fire in Kyoto in 1249. The main hall was rebuilt in 1266.

600 of the Buddhist images were toppled by the earthquake in 1544. In the year 1588, TOYOTOMI Hideyoshi built Hoko-ji temple and Rengeo-in was incorporated into the new big temple. After extinction of Toyotomi family, Hoko-ji including Rengeo-in was transferred to Myoho-in temple's administration.
