A temple belonging to the Tozan sect of Shingon Buddhism, featuring a Daisodo (Grand Master Hall) recognized as one of the Three Great Masters of Disaster Removal in Japan. The principal image is the Holy Kannon (Avalokiteshvara), revered as the guardian Buddha of Taira no Shigemori.
History
Traditionally founded in 890 CE (Kampi 2) by the High Priest Sonkai. It served as a place of prayer for the Chiba clan and received deep devotion from successive military leaders. From the medieval period onward, it was supported by the Inoue family of Sawa. During the Edo period, it functioned as a central temple with 53 branch temples, becoming the focal point of faith in the Disaster Removal Master and attracting widespread devotion among commoners.

What visitors say
There is a parking lot facing the street. Upon entering the approach from the mountain gate, a replica site of the Shikoku 88-temple pilgrimage is located on the left. The main hall is a magnificent structure, and the temple grounds feature the graves of the Inoue family and a bronze statue of Kobo Daishi. It is a serene temple where Goshuin (calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the administrative office.
