A historic temple serving as the head temple of the Tenda sect in the Kanto region, known for its role as a prayer site and ancestral temple for the Tokugawa shogunal family.
History
Established through the patronage of the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu Tokugawa, with Tenkai as the founding monk. Modeled after Mount Hiei, it was named Toei-zen (Eastern Hiei) to signify its status as the 'Eastern Mount Hiei.' It flourished as a prayer site and ancestral temple for the Tokugawa clan, with imperial princes or adopted sons of the Emperor serving as the head priest until the end of the Edo period.
