Nagatokuji Temple
長野市松代町松代１０１５−１
A Soto sect temple serving as the family temple (butsuji) for the Sanada clan of Matsushiro Domain, housing important cultural properties such as the spirit house (reiya) of Sanada Naoie.
History
Founded in 1547 CE (Bunmei 16) by Sanada Yukitaka, it was established in 1622 CE (Genwa 8) when Sanada Naoie relocated to Matsushiro, with the abbot of Hachiji Temple serving as the founding priest (kaizan). It served as the family temple for the Sanada clan of Matsushiro Domain and, during the Edo period, also functioned as a Soto sect monastic office and a training ground for Zen monks. Although the temple complex was repeatedly damaged by fires and floods, it was rebuilt in 1886 CE (Meiji 19).
