Original Text
Immediately from the north exit of SAIJO Station. A temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school, which was founded as Komyobo during the Astronomical Year (1532 ~ 1555). The principal image is Amida Nyorai. Red tiles that are typical of SAIJO are used in both the mountain gate and the main hall. There is a monument to the fall of the main hall built in 1905 in the precinct, so the current main hall may have been built at this time.
