Eimyoji Temple
Legend says this temple was founded by the priest Gyoki in 709. The principal object of worship is an image of Taishakuten, who's said to be related to victory and success. This is where the beautifully scenic natural monument of the Taishaku Gorge gets its name. Local farmers and samurai have worshiped there since ancient times, and it is home to temple treasures like a steel gong bequeathed by Nagao Kazukatsu, the lord of Tojo Castle. Currently visitors aren't allowed inside, but you can still view the historic wooden building from the grounds.
