Located a 10-minute walk from Jingoji Temple along the Kiyotaki River, across the vermilion-lacquered Shigetukibashi Bridge. Founded as a separate temple of Jingoji Temple by Chisen, a disciple of Kukai, during the Tencho era (824-833). The current temple buildings are said to have been rebuilt with a donation from Keishoin, the mother of Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, the 5th shogun. The principal image enshrined in the main hall, the wooden standing statue of Shaka Nyorai (Important Cultural Property), is in the "Seiryoji style," which is said to convey the appearance of the Buddha in his lifetime, and is about 52 cm tall, created by Unkei. The standing statue of Senju Kannon (Important Cultural Property) enshrined beside it was made in the Fujiwara period. Only Goshuin (temple stamps) are available.
