Sai-ko-ji Temple
小川町小川１２７７
A Soto sect temple known by the common name of "Dai-ji" (Great Temple). During the Edo period, it was granted a shuinjo (a certificate of land grant) for a temple estate of 10 koku from the shogun's household.
History
It was founded in 1533 CE (Tenbun 2) by Sai-ko-in-dono Zenjo Shuryo Jo. During the Edo period, it was a branch temple of Toya-ji Temple in Toya Village, Hiki District (now Arashiyama Town). When the temple was rebuilt in 1693 CE (Genroku 6), the principal image was changed from Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) to Shaka Muni Butsu (Shakyamuni Buddha).
