About this place
Senpukuji is a Soto-sect temple in Yokote, Kunisakimachi, Kunisaki, Oita Prefecture. Its mountain name is Myotokusan. It is known for its Founder's Hall and Buddha Hall, both National Important Cultural Properties. The precincts are a historic site of Oita Prefecture. It is said to have been founded in 1375 (Eiwa 1) by Tahara Ujiyoshi of the Otomo clan family, at the wish of his mother, with the Zen master Muchaku Myoyu as founding priest. In 1581 (Tensho 9) it was attacked and burned by the Christian daimyo Otomo Yoshishige (Otomo Sorin), and the lecture hall and others were lost, leaving only the Founder's Hall and the Buddha Hall (Daiyuden).
