川口市安行領家４０１
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, which houses a wooden seated statue of Shaka Nyorai (the Buddha), designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by Kawaguchi City. Within the temple grounds stands a Byakko Tenno Hall, which enshrines a 'Koma Snake' based on a local legend of a great serpent.
History
Founded in 1546 CE (Tensho 15) by Jo Ten To Eki, the third abbot of Hossaiji. The temple served as the family temple for the Fujikawa clan, and the hatamoto (samurai serving the shogun directly) Fujikawa Shigeyoshi had his father's memorial rites transferred here from Shoenji, which had previously been the Fujikawa family temple.

What visitors say
The temple is known for its beautiful autumn foliage, hydrangeas, and spider lilies, as well as a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a mountain retreat. The grounds feature Jizo statues, a 'Koma Snake' statue, and a resident cat. The Byakko Tenno Hall is located at the back of the grounds. Parking is limited, so visitors should be prepared for congestion during autumn foliage season and on holidays.
