History
Founded in 1591 in Bakuro-machi, it moved to Kanda in 1601 and to its current location in 1649. The entire mountain complex was destroyed by fire during the Ueno War in the first year of the Meiji era (1868 CE). After reconstruction, it was elevated from a sub-head temple to a head temple (temple of historical significance) in 2006. During the Edo period, it was known as one of the Edo Sento (leaders of the commoner districts). Today, it serves as the head temple for the Shoshi Hoen, the largest legal community within the Niren sect.
