A temple of the Tozan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Obuse Town, Nagano Prefecture, also known as 'Tsumaigoi Yakushi' (the Medicine King who heals wives' longing). The temple grounds feature a stone monument bearing a haiku by Kobayashi Issa and the 'Goryosen' (Sacred Spring), which was selected as one of the 50 Best Waters of Shinshu.
History
Founded in 1408 CE (Oei 15) during the early Muromachi period, the temple is designated as an Important Cultural Property. It was destroyed by fire in 1879 CE (Meiji 12) but was rebuilt in 1976 CE (Shōwa 51) using timber salvaged from the dismantling of the former Mizu Elementary School in the vicinity.
