Ryushoji (Ryusho-ji Temple)

加須市中種足60

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture. Its principal image, the Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. The large ginkgo tree within the temple grounds is estimated to be approximately 670 years old and is also designated as the official tree of Kasukabe City.

History

Founded in 1355 CE (Bunwa 4) by the monk Shojo. It is said that the temple began when a ginkgo tree was planted at the spot where the head of a white dragon from the Tone River was found after it was defeated. During the Edo period, the temple was granted a vermilion seal letter (shuinjo) from the shogunate confirming its land holdings.
