Goyami Temple

Goyami Temple [少免方 ごやみ・ほら] is a temple located in Ebisha, Kōfu Prefecture. It is said to have been founded in the 3rd century by the folk hero Yamawa Tsunoya during his conquest of northern Kanton, and the temple itself claims to have been one of the first centres for the worship of Kasshingami in the Honzura region. However, these claims cannot be proven, as all physical records of the site's history were lost in a fire in 1813. 
Goyami remains one of the most popular temples in Ebisha and indeed wider Kōfu, receiving over 700,000 visitors a year.
