Hosaka Temple

Hosaka Temple [映坂方; ほさかほら] is a temple located in Saibun, Shinkō Prefecture. It is one of the oldest temples in the prefecture, constructed in the early 1300s, and is situated in the city centre in the surrounding grounds, known as the Hosaka Gardens. 
Since its foundation, the temple's buildings have often been damaged either by earthquake tremours or fire, and have been reconstructed on every occasion. It houses a statue of Nobaome, a local deity who is thought to have watched over the bay of Naraguchi.
