Raikoji Temple was established in 1347 in Raigyocho, Moriguchi City, as the head temple of the Sada school of the Yuzu Nembutsu sect by Reverend Jitsuson, a disciple of Reverend Homyo, the founder of the Yuzu Nembutsu sect. Its principal image is the Tenhitsu Nyorai (a single image of the three deities Amida, Kannon, and Seishi). Due to the temple's unique inheritance system, it has moved 26 times over the course of 300 years, each time a new chief priest was appointed. In 1678, it was finally relocated to its current location in Sada-Nakacho, where it remains to this day. The "Hachiman Mandala on Silk," a work handed down at Raikoji Temple, is a designated Important Cultural Property of Japan, and the "Thirteen-Story Stone Pagoda" behind the temple grounds is a designated Tangible Cultural Property of Osaka Prefecture. There is also a seat bearing the footprints of a female ghost who appeared at the temple in 1743, which is open to the public during memorial services held at the temple. It was the site of Emperor Gomurakami's imperial prayer, and the "throne" remains in the Daihojo today.
