Uchiyama Eikyuuji 永久寺 Eikyu-Ji

There are various temples with this name. Here we are concerned with the one in Yamato.

Uchiyama 内山永久寺 Uchiyama Eikyu-Ji
located in Tenri, Nara, Somanouchi village 奈良県天理市杣之内町

It was one of the greatest Shingon temple compounds in Western Japan, built in 1144. But has been demolished during the Meiji restauration period.
The pond of the Main Hall is still present.
Emperor Godaigo 後醍醐天皇 took refuge here in the Nanboku-Cho period 南北朝時代.

It was a well-guarded place of the Esoteric Buddist Shingon sect.
It was also closely connected to temple 興福寺 Kofuku-Ji in Nara and with mountain ascetic practises (shugendoo 修験道).

Uchiyama Eikyu-ji Temple was the Jingu-ji Temple 神宮寺 (a temple associated with a shrine) of Isonokami jingu Shrine 石上神宮 in Yamato Province.
