History

Founded in 1704 by the monk Shenshu, the temple was destroyed by fire in 1796 and remained unreconstructed for over 50 years. It was finally rebuilt in 1850. Although it was revived during the Shōwa era, it was destroyed again by the 1945 air raids and reconstructed in the postwar period.

What visitors say

Located near a shopping street, this temple exudes a serene atmosphere. Passing through its impressive vermilion-painted mountain gate reveals a well-maintained garden and a spacious approach path. Within the precincts stands a stone statue of Jizo Kannon (the Kannon of the Jewel in the Hair), believed to be effective for toothaches, and a simple yet dignified main hall.
