An iconic historic temple of Itako, founded in the Kamakura period and standing serenely along the Maekawa River. The ancient main hall and bell tower blend into the waterside streetscape, and the temple grounds radiate calm and tranquility. As a temple that walked alongside Itako's water transport heritage, it has long been cherished by the community. Even amid a downtown district bustling with summer festival energy, this temple offers a pocket of quiet.
