Kinzenzan Chōkei-ji
泉南市信達市場８１５
A temple of the Shingon Shūryō-ji school, enshrining Jizō Kannon as its principal deity and also known as the 'Ajisai (Hydrangea) Temple.' The grounds feature a three-storied pagoda, a tahōtō (many-treasure pagoda), and a dry landscape garden, and it is renowned as a famous spot for hydrangeas.
History
It is said to have been founded as a branch of the ancient Kai-ji temple, with theories suggesting it was established by Hōki as an imperial temple commissioned by Emperor Shōmu. The entire mountain was burned down during the Kishū campaign led by Oda Nobunaga and Hachisuke Hideyoshi, but it was rebuilt at its current location by Toyotomi Hideyori during the Keichō era. The current temple name, granted in the 8th year of Enpō by the Imperial Prince of Ninna-ji, is said to be the era name 'Keichō' from the time of its rebuilding written upside down.
