Yamashina Mido

Yamashina Midō (山科御堂), also known as Yamashina Hongan-ji (山科本願寺), was a fortified Buddhist temple located in what is now Yamashina-ku, Kyoto, Japan. Together with its fortified jōkamachi, it was a major center for the Ikkō-ikki, an organization of warrior monks and lay zealots who opposed samurai rule during the Sengoku period. Parts of its ruins were designated a National Historic Site in 2002.
