This temple was built in 1367 by the second Shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiakira, and was founded by Fumyo Kokushi. It features the Kaiun Tower, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, and the Rakan Hall to the left of the main hall features a row of 500 arhat statues. The weeping cherry blossoms in early April and the peonies at the end of April are both magnificent.
