A Shingon Buddhist temple of the Toyosha-ha sect located in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture. It is known as the 'Peony Temple' because peonies bloom here in late April.

History

Founded in 762 CE (Shinpen 2) by Jiken, it was designated as an official temple by Empress Shōtoku. In 834 CE (Jōwa 1), Kūkai rebuilt the temple. In 1254 CE (Kenchō 6), Jōen revived it and became the founding abbot of its second era. During the Edo period, it served as the head temple of the Owari Shingon sect and had affiliated temples.
