Dai-chuu-ji (Soto Sect, Enoki)
栃木市大平町榎本８８０
A Soto sect temple located in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, recognized as one of the Kan-sanjatsu (Three Temples of Kan). The temple grounds are associated with local legends and tales of the supernatural known as the 'Seven Mysteries of Dai-chuu-ji.'
History
Founded in 1154 as a Shingon sect temple, it was re-established in 1489 when Oyamasho Seicho invited Kaian Myokei to serve as the founding abbot. In 1591, Tokugawa Ieyasu appointed the temple to the Soto sect's Kan-hachuu Soro-shoku (monastic administrative office for the eight provinces of Kan), making it one of the Tenka Dai-soro (Great Monastic Offices of the Realm). Subsequently, the temple complex was developed under the patronage of Uesugi Kenshin, among other historical figures, playing a significant role in the region's history.
