History
Founded in 1604 by Nichizen in Komegawa, Kanda, Edo. It relocated to Minami-machi, Yotsuya, south of Samegawa Bridge in 1624, and moved to its current location in Nishi-sunagawa in 1909. The Tamiya family, the residence of O-Iwa from the kabuki play 'Yotsuya Kaidan' (The Ghost Story of Yotsuya), was a parishioner of this temple.

What visitors say
The grounds feature the grave of O-Iwa from 'Yotsuya Kaidan', a memorial stupa for the wife of Aono Kaji-no-kami, and an eel memorial stupa. The main hall is very clean and has a refreshing atmosphere. It is a quiet space where you can worship while reading the stone stele and explanations about O-Iwa.
