History
The founding date is unknown, but it is said to have been relocated from the Hatanaga area in Shibuya Ward to its current location around 1585. Many halls and temple treasures were lost in the war damage of 1945, but they were gradually restored. The temple produced notable figures such as the Nōge of Nakamura Danrin, the highest academic institution of the Nichiren sect.
