This Obaku Zen Buddhist temple was founded in 1672 by Egoku Domyo, a prominent Obaku priest. The gate and multiple buildings, along with the shoro bell tower, tell visitors a lot about the structure of the temple at its founding. The main hall enshrines 1,111 images of the Shaka Nyorai, Yakushi Nyorai, and Amida Nyorai Buddhas, for a total of 3,333 principal objects of worship. The temple holds an Osegaki Hoe ancestral offering ritual and Manto-e lantern ritual every year on August 15th. Roughly 1,000 lanterns are lit on temple grounds during the rituals, and a great number of people come to make offerings. From the end of April through early May, the grounds are also covered with rhododendrons - the official flower of Sakai. The temple draws roughly 1,000 visitors per day during this period. It is also a site on the Kawachi-Saigoku Reijo pilgrimage route.
