A Zen Buddhist temple in Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture, belonging to the Myoshin-ji school of the Rinzai sect. It is well known as a specialized training hall for Zazen (seated meditation).

History
Founded in 1468 CE (Ōnin 2) by Saitō Myōchun as a memorial temple for Toki Narinori, the guardian of Mino Province. The temple was established with the arrival of the National Preceptor Gokei Sōton as its founding abbot. It received an imperial edict for its mountain name from Emperor Go-Hanazono. In 1470 CE (Bunmei 2), the Seven Hall Monastery complex was completed, and the temple was designated as one of the Ten Great Temples (Jūjaku) in the region. Known as a historic training ground for the Tōkai Mon school of Zen, it now operates as a specialized training hall for the Myoshin-ji school of the Rinzai sect.
