About this place
Nyoirin-ji is a Jodo sect temple in Yoshinoyama, Yoshino, Yoshino District, Nara Prefecture. Its mountain name is Tonoosan. The principal image is Nyoirin Kannon. Behind the main hall are the mausoleum of Emperor Go-Daigo, who died in Yoshino, Tonoo-no-misasagi, and the tomb of Prince Seitai. It is said to have been opened by Nichizo Shonin in the Engi era of the Heian period (901 - 922). In the Nanbokucho period, when Emperor Go-Daigo established a temporary palace at Yoshino it was made an imperial prayer temple, but the emperor died without being able to return to the capital and was buried in the hill behind the main hall.
