Ban-sho-in
佐久市田口２８９３
A Soto sect temple located in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture, with the mountain name Dairyo-san. The main image is the Buddha Shakyamuni.
History
In 1560 CE (Eiroku 3), the temple received donations from Takeda Shingen. In 1584 CE (Tensho 12), Iida Yasunaga relocated Meihō-ji and converted it to the Soto sect to mourn his father. It was renamed Ban-sho-in after his father's posthumous name. During the Edo period, it received the patronage of the Tanoguchi Domain and served as the repository for the domain lord's memorial tablet.

The vast grounds feature many attractions, including a grand mountain gate, main hall, bell tower, guardian statues, and a Kannon statue. The approach path is lined with a magnificent pine tree known as the 'Guden-matsu' (Palace Pine). The mountain in the background is covered with broadleaf trees, making it beautiful during the autumn foliage season. The grounds are well-maintained and have a calm, serene atmosphere.
