About this place
Kiyoshikōjin Seichō-ji (清荒神清澄寺) is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Takarazuka, Hyōgo, Japan. It is one of the typical type of mixture of Shinto and Buddhism temples in Japan, and temple's name has two Chinese letters of two religions in Japan together, 'Jin'(神) of Shinto and 'Ji'(寺) of Buddhism. This type of mixture of two religions, called 'Shinbutsu shugo'(神仏習合) was very common among Japanese temples or shrines until the Edo period, but the two religions were formally and forcedly separated by Meiji Government in the last half of the 19th century. In this sense, this temple is a good example that still preserves Japanese religious traditions before modernization. Kiyoshikojin deals with fire, which is indispensable to people’s lives, has been respected as something sacred. Kiyoshikojin gives us benefits such as family safety, business and good luck.
