- quote -
Founded in the 8th century, this Shingon temple is located at Takao, northwest of Kyoto. Kukai, founder of the Shingon sect, came here in 809 and stayed for 14 years.
After the temple burnt down the monk Mongaku persuaded Retired Emperor Go-Shirakawa and shogun Minamoto Yoritomo to rebuild it, the work being completed in 1184. However most of the temple buildings were destroyed again in the Onin War. Only the Daishido survived the war and several of the current buildings date from 1623.

- quote
Jingo-ji Temple is nestled in the mountainous area to the northwest of Kyoto city. The area is particularly known for autumn colored leaves and is called the Sanbi area consisting of three regions: Takao, Makio and Togano-o.
Jingo-ji Temple is located on the slope of Mount Takao. Crossing Takao Bridge above the Kiyotaki River 清滝川 and steeply ascending through the tunnel of crimson leaves. There, an incredibly beautiful Japanese temple welcomes one.
The official name of this temple is "Jingo Kokuso Shingon-ji" and it derives from two temples. One is Shingan-ji Temple and the other is Takaosan-ji Temple, both of which merged in 824. This is the place where Kukai (or Kobo Daishi) founded the base of his Shingon esoteric Buddhism and is regarded as one of the three most important esoteric Buddhist temples along with To-ji Temple and Kongobu-ji Temple.
It has experienced devastation many times in the long history but was successfully restored each time. A number of valuable temple treasures are preserved up to today, including the statue of Yakushi Nyorai (National Treasure) and other articles from the Heian and Kamakura periods. Another popular point about this temple is the Throwing Roof Tile. From the garden in Jizo-in Temple, people throw a roof tile over the cliff side as far as possible, an action that is believed to ward off misfortunes.

薬師如来立像
Yakushi Nyorai in the 金堂 Kondo Hall.
鎌倉時代の末に編纂された『神護寺略記』に引用されている『弘仁資財帳』に「薬師仏像一躯 脇士菩薩像二躯」とあるのがこの三尊に当たると思われる。
資財帳とは、定額寺で作ることを義務付けられていたもので、弘仁年間の資財帳とは当時定額寺であった神願寺のものであり、この像が神願寺から高雄山寺に移されたと考えられてきた。
近年、
この本尊を高雄山寺に由来するとする説が出され、その結論はまだ定まっていない。

- - - - - There are other temples with the name 神護寺 JingoJi in Japan.
Kumamoto, Aso Town 熊本県 阿蘇市
One of the priests of the temple Jingo-Ji, where women were forbidden to come, got involved with a girl named オカメ O-Kame from nearby and spent almost every night with her.
The other monks punished the two by digging a hole in the ground, put the two of them inside and rolled a large boulder atop of this living grave.
From this time on in the villags around the home of O-Kame whenever a girl was born it would not grow up to become a woman. The villgers became afraid and asked the monks to pray to forgive O-Kame, whom they now called お上神様 O-Kame Kamisama.
They made a wooden statue clad with paper robes.
Whenever some difficult would happen in the village, the statue would shed off half of the paper robes as a warning of it.
