Koyama-ji - this area was once a single field called Sen-Yugahara Field Where Hermits Play. This area was a playground for the young Kobo Daishi who was born in nearby Zentsuji. This is where he used to make Buddha statues with mud, built temples out of plants, and layer stones to create pagodas. Koyamaji Temple’s origins date back 1,200 years. Kobo Daishi took over renovations for the Manno-Ike Reservoir, prayed for the safe completion of the project at the cave on Mt. Koyama. With cooperation from Kobo Daishi’s followers, the Manno-ike Reservoir renovations were completed safely in just three months.
