Japanese: 天長元年（824年）の太政官符（「類聚国史」「類聚三代格」など所載）によれば、この年、神願寺と高雄山寺の寺地を「交換」し、寺号を「神護国祚真言寺（じんごこくそしんごんじ）」とし、この寺は定額寺（官が保護を与える一定数の私寺のこと）に列せられた。
English: The reason for exchanging the temple sites was that the location of Shingan-ji Temple was deemed impure and unsuitable for Buddhist practices.
Japanese: 寺地の交換が行われたのは、神願寺の所在する土地に「汚穢」（けがれ）があり、仏法の道場としてふさわしくなかったからとのことである。
English: The name 'Jingokokuso-Shingon-ji Temple' means 'Shingon Sect temple that prays for the spiritual protection of the nation by the divine protection of Hachiman' and clearly distinguishes it as an Esoteric Buddhist temple.

Japanese: 絹本着色伝・源頼朝像、伝・平重盛像、伝・藤原光能像－これらの肖像画のモデルについては、寺の根本史料である『神護寺略記』の記述などをもとに源頼朝、平重盛、藤原光能とされてきたが、確証がないため、国宝の指定名称にも「伝」の字が付されている。
English: It was previously believed that they were created during the 12th century by master portrait painter FUJIWARA no Takanobu, but there are theories that date the image anywhere from the late Kamakura to the period of the Northern and Southern Courts and speculate that the model may have been Takauji ASHIKAGA, Tadayoshi ASHIKAGA or Yoshiakira ASHIKAGA.

English: The origins of Sanzen-in Temple lie in a temple named Enyu-bo built on Mt.

English: The alternative name 'Nashimoto Monzeki' later arose due to the presence of a large nashi pear tree that grew next to Enyu-bo.
