Muryōkōin

Muryōkōin (無量光院) is a temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism, located on Mount Kōya (高野山), Wakayama prefecture, Japan. Its name means "Temple of limitless light" and is the Japanese transliteration of Amitābha.

The temple was first constructed during the Heian period by Prince Kakuhō Shinō (覚法法親王; 1092-1153), a son of Emperor Shirakawa (白河天皇; 1053-1129; r. 1073-1087). The exact year is unknown. After the devastating fire in 1888 on Mount Kōya (高野山), the temple was united with Shicchin (悉地院) and relocated to its current location.
