    This temple is located just a 15 minute drive from the Sayama-Hidaka Interchange on the Ken-O Expressway. It is said that this temple was formed when the military commander of Hanno, Nakayama Iekatsu invited the distinguished priest, Kamaya Fumitatsu and established a small hut, and then the son of Iekatsu, Ienori, built the temple in order to pray for his father's peaceful repose. To the north of the main sanctum lies the Ikeizumi contemplative type Horai Garden selected as one of Japan's top 100 gardens, and is designated as a Municipal Cultural Property.

    Saitama Pref. Irumagunogosemachi Tatsugaya 452-1
    This historic Soto Zen Buddhist temple is on the way to Mt. Ogami from Prefectural Route 61. It was founded in the year 807 and has a legend of a dragon deity associated with it. It is said that the priest Unko Toshinori once subdued an evil dragon that lived in a river pool at the temple and converted it to a good dragon. During the Edo period, as one of the three main Soto sect temples, it was the most prominent of the Three Great Kanto Temples under the Shogunate. The etiquette was so lofty feudal lords were even required to dismount from their horses while worshiping there. Its impressive status can still be seen today in the amazing gongen-zukuri architecture of the main hall and its wall carvings. Surrounded by forest, its clear air and tranquility has also made it a popular spot that people come to soak up sacred energy.

    鐘楼堂に白象がいるお寺は初めて見たので、とても驚きました。何でお寺に白象がいるのか疑問でしたが、インドで生まれた仏教で、象は神聖な動物であり、豊穣の象徴と考えられているそうです。象は縁起の良い動物で、象を所有することは高位の証であということから、檀家が張り子の象を制作し、第二次世界戦争中、鐘が供出されてしまったため堂のみが残されている鐘楼堂に収められているとのことです。
