History and things to know
According to the temple's guide, this area was the domain of the 松浦 family, hatamoto (direct retainers of the shogun), and a sutra-copying pagoda and a portrait associated with 松浦信正, who served as kanjō bugyō and Nagasaki bugyō, have been handed down here. When the Ataka-maru, the shogunal vessel built by order of Tokugawa Iemitsu, was dismantled, the temple received its funadama (ship's guardian spirit) and has enshrined it as Inari. The present main hall was built in Meiji 15.
