The primary concern of this paper is to clarify circumstances of the removal of the temple (the Kousen temple) in Kagoshima Prefecture during the Meiji era. There is also a consideration of the relationship between "Kushi nijuhachinichikou" and the Syoukou temple as well as the Kousen temple. This article is targeted at those who are interested in the history of "buraku (discriminated communities)" and Shin Buddhism. The main findings of this research are as follows: 1. The Kousen temple was an important status of the Nishi Hongan Temple group in the modern times. But, it atrophied economically, because it lost a control-subordinate relationship, and it carried out the generalize role of the the discriminated villages. 2. "Kushinijuhachinichikou" of Satsuma and the Syoukou Temple of Kyoto had a relationship in the middle of the 18th century. 3. The Kousen temple was related to the Syoukou temple. Therefore, the Kousen Temple took over "Kushinijuhachinichikou" from the Syoukou temple and it moved to Kagoshima in the Meiji era.
