Yama-dera (山寺 lit. "Mountain Temple") is about a twenty minute train ride (Senzan-sen Line) northeast of Yamagata City, in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan at the foot of the steep hill Hōshū-yama. The temple is a nationally-designated Place of Scenic Beauty and Historic Site. The area is named after the common name of the temple of Risshaku-ji (立石寺), founded in 860 AD by the priest Ennin (円仁) (AD 793 or 794–864), who is better known in Japan by his posthumous name, Jikaku Daishi (慈覺大師). In 847 he returned to Japan from China and in 854, he became the chief priest of the Tendai sect at Enryaku-ji. Risshaku-ji was founded as a branch temple of Enryaku-ji on Mt. Hiei near Kyoto. Even today the ritual fires brought from Enryaku-ji are still burning in the main temple. It developed into the major Heian period (794–1185) temple for rural Dewa province (now Yamagata and Akita prefectures). This main temple, the Konpon-chūdō, an important cultural asset, is said to have been built in 1356 by Shiba Kaneyori, lord of Yamagata Castle. Most of Risshaku-ji was destroyed during the local wars of the early 16th century and it was rebuilt in 1543 under the monk Enkai. By the Edo period (1600–1868) Risshaku-ji was a powerful institution possessing a fief of 1,420 koku. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama-dera ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 立石寺（りっしゃくじ）は、山形県山形市にある天台宗の寺院。山号は宝珠山。本尊は薬師如来。寺号は詳しくは宝珠山阿所川院立石寺（ほうじゅさんあそかわいんりっしゃくじ）と称する。山寺（やまでら）の通称で知られ、古来、悪縁切り寺として信仰を集める。寺名は古くは「りうしゃくじ」と称した。蔵王国定公園に指定されている。平泉中尊寺・毛越寺、松島瑞巌寺とともに「四寺廻廊」という巡礼コースを構成している。 ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%AB%8B%E7%9F%B3%E5%AF%BA
