is a Buddhist temple located in the Rokkaku-dori Matsubara-dori Yamato-oji Higashiiru neighborhood of Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Shingon-shà « Chisan-ha sect of Japanese Buddhism and its honzon is a hibutsu statue of Jà «ichimen Kannon that is designated a National Treasure. The temple's full name is Fudaraku-san Fumon-in Rokuharamitsu-ji (è£ÂéÂÂæ´Âå±± æ®éÂÂé¢ å Â波羠èÂÂ寺).The temple is the 17th stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route.
The founding of this temple is uncertain. According to the Heian period history book Fusà  Ryakuki, the temple originated from a training hall dedicated to Jà «ichimen Kannon, which was built in 951 Kà «ya, known for his dancing nembutsu. It was originally called Saikà Â-ji (西å Â寺). During the plague epidemic in Kyoto at the time, Kà «ya is said to have saved many people by pulling this Kannon statue around the city in a cart, chanting nembutsu, and serving tea to the sick. Another theory is that Kà «ya held a large-scale memorial service for the Large PrajñÃÂpÃÂramitàSà «tras on the banks of the Kamo River in August 963, and that this was the founding of Saikà Â-ji. At the time, the Kamo River was a place for the disposal of corpses and funerals.
After Kà «ya's death, in 977, Chushin, a monk from Enryaku-ji on Mount Hiei, renamed the temple Rokuharamitsu-ji and re-established it under the Tendai sect. The new name may have come from the Buddhist doctrine of the six "Rokuharamitsu," loosely translated as "perfection"; however, another theory is that it originated from the fact that the area was called "Rokuhara" (six fields). The temple came to be associated ties with the Heike clan in the late Heian period when Taira no Masamori built the nearby Amida-dà  (now Jà Âkà Â-in). Taira no Tadamori stationed his troops in a sub-temple of the temple, and eventually built a mansion called "Rokuharaden" next to the temple grounds. Taira no Kiyomori incorporated the temple into the Heike clan's compound, and over 5,200 Heike residences were constructed within and around the temple. In 1183, when the Heike clan fled the capital in the Genpei War, the temple caught fire. The fire also burned the temple's other buildings, but only the main hall survived. After this, the Kamakura shogunate established the Rokuhara Tandai on the ruins of the Heike mansion and residences.
Rokuharamitsu-ji was rebuilt by Minamoto no Yoritomo and Ashikaga Yoshiakira. The main hall was rebuilt again in 1363 during the Nanboku-chà  period. However, the temple grounds suffered repeated fires. During the Bunroku era (1593-1596), when Toyotomi Hideyoshi erected the Kyoto Daibutsu, Rokuharamitsu-ji was repaired and the temple was granted 70 koku of land for its upkeep. At this time, it became a branch temple of the Shingon sect's Chishaku-in. A large temple complex existed until the end of the Edo period. Following the anti-Buddhist movement during the Meiji Restoration, the temple grounds were significantly reduced in size, and the main hall is now surrounded by private houses, making the grounds smaller.
In 1969, the main hall was dismantled and repaired, during which approximately 8,000 mud pagodas, mentioned in works such as "Konjaku Monogatarishu" and "Sankaiki," were excavated from the base.
The temple is approximately a seven-minute walk from Kiyomizu-Gojà  Station on the Keihan Main Line or a 15-minute walk from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Main Line.
