History
The exact date of founding is unknown, but it is presumed to have existed by the early 17th century, as it was designated in 1620 CE (Genna 6) as the Bessho (managing temple) for Sawazukasa Inari. In the early Edo period, a monk named Sawazukasa, who had deeply studied the doctrines of the Jodo-shu sect, reportedly received a message in a dream from the Inari deity instructing him to become the guardian deity of Dentsu-in. Consequently, the Inari deity was enshrined at this temple.
