It is called (Zenkoji). It is a temple of the Shingon sect Daigo school, and the mountain name is Aigoyama. The principal image is Zenkoji Nyorai. It is also called Zenkoji Anjoin.

There are ２ free parking lots up and down the slope. As you approach the precincts, you will be surprised at the size. The shrine maiden at the shrine office is also skillfully friendly. I liked it.
