下田市三丁目１２−１２
A Nichiren sect temple, also known as the site where the Treaty of Shimoda was signed. American jasmine trees are planted within the grounds, earning it the nickname 'Jasmine Temple.'
History
Founded in 1635 CE (Kan'ei 12) after Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had prayed to Nichimoku (a deity revered for healing eye ailments) and was cured, made a vow to establish a temple. The founder was Masanaga Imamura, the magistrate of Shimoda.

What visitors say
This is the historic site where the Treaty of Shimoda, an additional treaty to the Treaty of Amity between Japan and the United States, was signed. Paintings depicting the scene from that era remain. The solemn presence of the aged main hall, the beautifully maintained plants within the grounds (including plum trees), and the statues create a beautiful atmosphere that evokes the charm of the four seasons.
