Tamai-ji Temple
熊谷市玉井１８８８ 玉井寺
A temple of the Shingon Risshu sect, known as Rurikozan. It enshrines Hotei, one of the Seven Lucky Gods of Kumagaya, and is the 62nd stop on the Hana District 88 Temple Pilgrimage.
History
The details of its founding are unclear, but legend states that the monk Kenkei from Kofuku-ji Temple dug two jewels from a 'jade well,' using one as a temple treasure to establish the site. Another theory suggests it was founded by Naria Shirousuke Minoru (also known as Tamai Shirou). The temple was revived by Kenkai in 1640 CE (Kan'ei 17).

What visitors say
The mountain gate has a solid, imposing presence with sturdy craftsmanship on the door fittings. When visiting from Tokyo, it is more convenient to use Ogori Station rather than Kumagaya Station, as it is closer. The grounds feature tombstones, offering a place to appreciate local history and scenery.
