Hà Âzan-ji (å®Â山寺 Hà Âzan-ji) is a Buddhist temple in Monzen-machi, Ikoma, Nara, Japan.
Though officially dedicated to the deity Acala (Fudà  Myà Âà Â), the temple serves as a cult-center of the deity Kangiten (Shoten) and is also called 'Ikoma-Shà Âten' (çÂÂé§ÂèÂÂ天).
The area around Hà Âzan-ji was originally a place for the training of Buddhist monks. The name of the place at that time was Daishà Â-Mudà Â-ji (大èÂÂç¡åÂÂ寺).
Mount Ikoma was originally an object of worship for the ancient people in the region, and so this area was selected as a place for religious training. The training area is said to have opened in 655 by En no Gyà Âja. Many Buddhist monks, including Kà «kai (空海), are said to have trained in here.
Hozan-ji started when Tankai (æ¹Âæµ·) re-opened this training area in the 17th century. Tankai set up a statue of Kangiten (Shoten) at this place in 1678, the official year Hozan-ji was established.
In the Edo period, this temple was one of the most popular Buddhist temples in this region.
This temple has Important Cultural Properties selected by the Japanese government.
