Jōyō-ji
さいたま市岩槻区太田1丁目10−44
A temple of the Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji-ha school located in Iwaki Ward, Saitama City.
History
Founded by Shakuyūzon, a descendant of the Soga brothers. A record of a fire in 1471 suggests the temple existed during the mid-Muromachi period. In 1601, it received official recognition from the Nishi Hongan-ji, including the enshrinement of the Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) as the principal image and the official temple name.
