Anrak-ji Temple
〒386-1431 長野県上田市別所温泉2361
Known as the oldest Zen temple in Nagano Prefecture, this Soto sect temple houses the only surviving octagonal three-story pagoda (a National Treasure) in Japan.
History
Founded during the Kamakura period by Koya Isen, the temple flourished under the patronage of the Hōjō clan of the Shioda lineage. Although it declined after the Muromachi period, it was revived as a Soto sect temple around 1580 CE (Tenshō 8) by Takayama Junkei.
