Hōzan-ji (宝山寺 Hōzan-ji) is a Buddhist temple in Monzen-machi, Ikoma, Nara, Japan.
Though officially dedicated to the deity Acala (Fudō Myōō), the temple serves as a cult-center of the deity Kangiten (Shoten) and is also called 'Ikoma-Shōten' (生駒聖天).
The area around Hōzan-ji was originally a place for the training of Buddhist monks. The name of the place at that time was Daishō-Mudō-ji (大聖無動寺).
Mount Ikoma was originally an object of worship for the ancient people in the region, and so this area was selected as a place for religious training. The training area is said to have opened in 655 by En no Gyōja. Many Buddhist monks, including Kūkai (空海), are said to have trained in here.
Hozan-ji started when Tankai (湛海) re-opened this training area in the 17th century. Tankai set up a statue of Kangiten (Shoten) at this place in 1678, the official year Hozan-ji was established.
In the Edo period, this temple was one of the most popular Buddhist temples in this region.
This temple has Important Cultural Properties selected by the Japanese government.
