Hiroi-ji So-mon (Main Gate of Hiroi-ji Temple)

秩父市下宮地町25

Known as the founding temple of the Soto sect in Chichibu, this temple is also called the "Chichibu Rainbow Temple" due to its seven distinctive features.

History

This Soto sect temple was founded in 1391 by Tenko Ryosan. According to legend, Ryosan preached the Dharma to a dragon, which promised to become a bodhisattva to protect the temple and donated a pond, leading to the construction of the temple. The stone sutra repository (Sekikeizo) was completed in 1769 after one year of work, with approximately 5,000 stone sutras dedicated to it.
