History and things to know
According to the official guide, its founder is said to be 田村安栖, physician to the Odawara Hōjō clan. The main hall is said to have been built in the early Genroku era (around 1690) using part of the Tamura family's shoin (study hall), and the thatched priests' quarters are thought to be older, dating from the time of 慶深, the restorer of the temple, who died in Keichō 11 (1606). The main hall was renovated and restored in Shōwa 58.
