An ancient temple with deep ties to Kukai and Kusunoki Masashige
This ancient temple was founded in 701 by En no Gyoja, the founder of Shugendo, and rebuilt by Kukai as a training center for the Shingon sect.

In addition to the public unveiling of the principal image of the temple, the Nyoirin Kannon statue, which is said to be the greatest work of esoteric Buddhist art from the Heian period, there will also be a special exhibition of important cultural properties such as the large silk-painted Zuikyu statue.

This is a memorial service for Lord Okuno, also known as Kusunoki Masashige, a Southern Court military commander with ties to Minamikawachi who was active during the Nanboku-cho period. It is an event held every year on the Sunday before or after May 25th, the day Lord Masashige died in the Battle of Kobe Minatogawa. Within the grounds of Kanshinji Temple is Nakain, where Lord Masashige studied as a boy and which is also the family temple of the Kusunoki clan. Further back in the temple grounds is the tomb where Lord Kusunoki Masashige's head was laid.

A grand memorial service is held at Amanosan Kongoji Temple on April 21st (March 21st on the lunar calendar), the death anniversary of Kobo Daishi Kukai. On the day, a procession of monks, parishioners, and young children, led by a mountain ascetic blowing a conch horn, proceeds from the main temple to the temple complex. In the second half of the service, offerings for the Hyakumi no Onjiki (a hundred tastes and drinks) are brought into the Goei-do Hall, which becomes the site of the festival. Once the service is over, everyone returns to the main temple by the same route they came. Hyakumi no Onjiki is a folk event that takes place during a memorial service, in which various offerings handmade by local people are offered to the portrait of Kobo Daishi Kukai. After the service, a "large rice cake throwing" is held in the temple grounds, which attracts many people every year.
