History

Founded in 1687 CE (Joho 4) by the wealthy merchant Akiyama Jirokuro to commemorate his deceased daughter. Initially named Tamonji, it adopted the name and relocated the mountain gate of a Tamonji temple established by Minamoto no Yoritomo. In 1689 CE (Genroku 2), the name was changed to Koshakuin.

What visitors say

The temple grounds are spacious, clean, and have a calm atmosphere, with a distinctive round gate as a highlight. The weeping cherry tree, over 100 years old, is particularly impressive, and in spring, visitors can also enjoy plum blossoms, azaleas, and peonies. Note that there is a steep uphill slope from the nearest station, so caution is required when traveling.
