The Shippōzan Motoyama-ji (七宝山 本山寺) is a Shingon Buddhist temple of the Kōyasan sect in Mitoyo, Kagawa, Japan. It was established by Emperor Heizei's instruction in 807. Hayagriva is a principal image now. The temple has undergone several reconstruction efforts since its founding, such as the rebuilding of its Main Hall (which is a National Treasure of Japan) in 1300.
