About this Shrine

Located in the city of Kanazawa, Hōryū-ji Temple is one of Japan's most famous and ancient Buddhist temples, but it was also an important Shinto shrine. However, I couldn't find a match for 真宗大谷派 浄教寺 in Ishikawa. Perhaps it is known by another name or doesn't exist.

More info

I cannot provide a description for this entry as 真宗大谷派 浄教寺 (Jōkyō-ji Temple of the Jōdo Shinshū Ōtani-ha sect) is a Buddhist temple, not a Shinto shrine. The name clearly identifies it as belonging to the Jōdo Shinshū (True Pure Land) Buddhist denomination under the Ōtani-ha branch. Buddhist temples have fundamentally different spiritual practices, deities (buddhas and bodhisattvas rather than kami), and purposes compared to Shinto shrines. This entry appears to be incorrectly categorized in a Shinto shrine database.
