Koutokuji (Koutokuji Temple)
あきる野市小和田２３４
A temple of the Kenchoji sect of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism located in Akiruno City, Tokyo, famous for its large ginkgo tree in autumn.
History
Founded in 1373 by Zen Master Shingen Kiketsu, the 70th abbot of Kamakura Kenchoji. The mountain name 'Ryukakuzan' (Dragon Horn Mountain) was derived from a legend that a horse kept by the husband of the founding nun, Ryuo Chiun, gave birth to a dragon with a single horn. The temple was later revived by Hojo Ujikatsu and became a major temple with deep ties to the late Hojo clan.
