Tadain - Tadain

Japanese: 多田院 - ただいん

<br /> A temple located in Tada-in, Kawanishi City, Hyogo Prefecture. Founded in 970 (Tenroku 1) by Minamoto no Mitsunaka , the temple boasted a splendid appearance with a main hall, stupa, academic hall, Hokke-do, Jōgyō-do and Mie-do hall within its grounds, and the Sosha Rokusha Gonzuri was enshrined there, but it fell into decline in the late Middle Ages. In the Edo period, the shogunate built a new main hall, worship hall and Shaka-do hall, and gave the temple the title of Tada Gongen, giving it a stronger character as a shrine, and after the Meiji Restoration, it was renamed Tada Shrine. The shrine grounds remain in their original location, and within the grounds, which are surrounded by stone walls and moats on all four sides, the graves of Minamoto no Mitsunaka and Yorimitsu, as well as the grave of a portion of Ashikaga Takauji's bones, remain. As the tomb of Minamoto no Mitsunaka, it was revered by the Kamakura, Muromachi and Edo Shogunates, and was designated a national historic site in 1951 (Showa 26) due to its historical importance. The main hall, worship hall and Zuishinmon gate are designated as important cultural properties, and the temple grounds include a treasure hall that displays treasures related to the Genji clan. It is about a 15-minute walk from Tada Station on the Nose Electric Railway's Myoken Line.

兵庫県川西市多田院にある寺院。源満仲(みなもとのみつなか)が970年（天禄1）に建立した寺で、域内には金堂・塔婆・学問所・法華堂・常行堂・御影堂が営まれて惣社六社権硯を祀り、荘厳を誇っていたが、中世後期には衰退した。江戸時代に入り、幕府は新たに本殿・拝殿・釈迦堂などを設け、多田権現の神号を受けるなど、神社としての色彩を濃くし、明治維新後に多田神社と改称。社地は当初の位置を継承し、境内は四方に石垣・堀をめぐらせたなかに、源満仲・同頼光の墓、足利尊氏の分骨の墓などが残る。源満仲の廟所として鎌倉・室町・江戸幕府の崇敬を受けた、歴史上重要な寺院であることから、1951年（昭和26）に国の史跡に指定された。本殿、拝殿、随神門は重要文化財の指定を受け、境内には宝物殿があり、源氏ゆかりの宝物を展示している。能勢電鉄妙見線多田駅から徒歩約15分。
