A temple belonging to the Kenchoji branch of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism, it is also known as Bakufuzan. The grounds house the tomb of Nakahara Sho, a Maneki-neko Jizo (a Jizo statue associated with attracting cats), and the grave of Basho.
History
Originally a Shingon Buddhist temple, it converted to the Rinzai school when Sufu So'in came to reside there. It was rebuilt during the Meiji era, and its eleventh abbot, Setto Gen'i, is known as a haiku monk. The grounds contain the tomb of the scholar Nakahara Sho, a Maneki-neko Jizo, and the grave of Basho.

What visitors say
The grounds are bright and well-maintained, making for a pleasant visit. The variety of Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) is very extensive and popular, so visitors receive numbered tickets at the reception to manage the queue. It is necessary to check social media or other channels in advance for the specific days Goshuin are available. Additionally, the Great Nirvana Painting is typically displayed around the end of January each year.
