It is located in Takachiho Town,〔Takachiho Town is also the location of Ama-no-Iwato Jinja, the Shinto shrine protecting the cave where, according to Japanese legend, the sun goddess Amaterasu hid after battle with her brother, plunging the world into darkness until lured out by the spirit of merriment Ame-no-Uzume.〕 Miyazaki, on Kyūshū, Japan's southernmost main island. The Shonen-ji temple complex is situated at the base of Genbuzan mountain, about 12 km outside central Takachiho. It was established there in 1578 by Tanio Yoshimura following the destruction of Genbu-jo, the Yoshimura clan's castle. Genbu-jo was burned and the principal Yoshimura family members killed when the Christian daimyo, Ōtomo Sōrin, invaded from Bungo Province in the north.〔For more details of Ōtomo's exploits, see: 〕 According to temple records, Tanio Yoshimura experienced a revelation following the loss of the castle and then committed himself and his successors to a religious life in atonement for the many deaths that had occurred.〔For more information on Shonen-ji's early history, see pp. 156-7 in 〕 In accordance with Jōdo Shinshū tradition, the position of head priest at Shonen-ji is hereditary through the eldest son. The present head priest, Junsho Yoshimura (b. 1958), is the seventeenth generation of his family to serve at Shonen-ji. Shonen-ji is unique (June 2011) among Japanese temples in that the English wife of the head priest is herself an ordained Kiyoshi (senior priest).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4xwww_ginger-buddha-trailer_news )〕 In May 2006, Shonen-ji established a branch temple in the Kishinoue section of central Takachiho.
