History
Founded in 1314 CE (Showa 3) by Nichiyo, with Nichiyo, a direct disciple of Nichiren, as the founding monk. It was originally a Shingon sect temple located in Iriyamazaki, Sosa City, and was relocated to its current site after a change in sect. During the Edo period, the statue of Hoppo Myoken Dai Bosatsu came to be enshrined at this temple through the initiative of the shogunate and the Matsudaira family.

What visitors say
The temple grounds feature a magnificent wisteria trellis, with the 'Goryu no Fuji' (Reclining Dragon Wisteria) being a major highlight due to the beautiful contrast of its purple and white blooms. Visitors can also enjoy the large-scale Ryujin-taki (Dragon God Waterfall) during their visit. Weekends tend to be crowded, so visiting on a weekday is recommended.
