A Shin-gi Shingon sect temple located in Hirai, Edogawa Ward, which has long been a center of devotion and is also known as Hirai Shenten, one of the three great Shenten (Mahavairocana) temples in the Kanto region.

History

The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it is said to have been established by the monk Gencho. In 1749 CE (mid-Edo period), Eiyu revived the temple, enshrined Shenten, and constructed a hall. After World War II, the temple changed its affiliation from the Shingon Toyosha-ha sect to the current Shin-gi Shingon sect.
