It is said that Musashinosuke Ahonohitokami established this temple in 806 (Daido 1st) with creating Shitido-Garan-Jyunibo. Although this temple underwent several wars in later days, thanks to the protection by the tanto (local group of samurai), its currently-existing dense trees at the senjo-daruki-dendo are magnificent and creates a fine atmosphere, making themselves the best scenery among the temples in Saitama Prefecture. A Kichisho-in-yaki is brilliant.
