A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Nagasaki City, recognized as one of the Three Great Temples of Nagasaki alongside Kodaiji and Honrenji.

History

Founded in 1614 by Denyo Kantsu, one of the Five Monks of Nagasaki. The temple subsequently gained the patronage of the Nagasaki magistrate, receiving donations for the temple grounds and buildings. During the Edo period, it flourished after receiving a vermilion seal letter from the Edo Shogunate. Although it suffered significant damage from the atomic bombing in 1945, the main hall, built in 1641, initially survived the blast but was later destroyed by fire.
