History and things to know
According to the temple's guide, it was founded along the Tama River in the Kamakura period and moved to its present site along the old Kōshū Kaidō in the Keichō era (1596–1615). In the Edo period the hōin 祐仙 invited the Fudōson from Naritasan Shinshō-ji and restored the temple, and since then it has been affectionately known as “Chōfu Fudōson.”
