History and things to know
According to temple tradition, it began around the time the Saranuma area became a domain of Kan'ei-ji in the Edo period, and at first it is said to have flourished mainly through a nenbutsu confraternity devoted to Amida Butsu. In the Meiji period efforts were made to restore its temple status and it came under the Tendai Jimon school; on the recent completion of the Sanshinden (main hall), a large image of Fudō Myōō carved from a single zelkova was received.
