History and things to know
According to the temple's tradition, it was opened in Manji 1 (1658) with 蓮池院日儀 as its founder, and it is said to have changed from the Shingon school to the Nichiren school. It was first called Chōfuku-ji and took its present name in Kyōhō 1 (1716). It lost its main hall in the air raids of Shōwa 20, and in 2001 it moved to its present site in connection with the redevelopment of Roppongi.
