History and things to know
According to temple tradition, it began when it took over Fumyō-ji, a branch temple of Daitoku-ji in Kohinata, moved it to the present site in Kyōhō 4 (1719) and renamed it Tengen-ji. In the Edo period it became a place of prayer for the shogun's family and drew devotion as the Bishamon-dō of Hiroo. It lost its halls in the war, but was revived in Shōwa 42 (1967).
