A Jōdo-shū Nishiyama-ha (Pure Land School, Nishiyama branch) temple located in Taketa City, Ōita Prefecture, with the mountain name Ten'etsu-zan. It has a history of being established as the ancestral temple for a feudal lord and features a main hall with gun ports and the oldest bell tower in Ōita Prefecture.

History

It was established in 1595 CE (Bunroku 4) when Nakagawa Hideyoshi, the first feudal lord of the Ōka Domain, invited High Priest Eimyō from Miki Seikō-ji. The temple was relocated to its current site in 1679 CE (Enpō 7). The current main hall, which was rebuilt in 1858 CE (Ansei 5), is equipped with gun ports, indicating that it once served a military function.
