explanation: One of the oldest Boudhist temples in Kanto region. During a great revolt of Taira no Masakado in the early 10th century, the Emperor sent there a statue of Buddhist God, Fudo Myoo with a great priest, Koncho Daisojo in order to pray for the end of the war. After the revolt, when man tried to return back the statue, it happened to be impossible to move it. So in 1940, it was decided to build in the actual place a Buddhist temple to keep the above statue.
