A Tendai sect temple located in Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture, with a history of hosting a discussion hall (tangi-sho) where many scholarly monks gathered.

History

Founded in the early Heian period by the Great Master Jigaku Daishi Ennin. During the Eicho period (1394-1428), the monk Eikai Ho-in relocated the temple to its current site and revitalized it. In the early Edo period, the monk Jozon rebuilt the temple, establishing it as one of the five major Tendai temples of the Kanto region (Kan-hasshu Goka-ji).

The temple grounds are very spacious, offering many sights such as charming halls, numerous stone monuments, and giant trees.
