A Shingon sect temple reportedly opened by Gyoki; burned down by Oda Nobunaga, but rebuilt as late as the Edo period; and a famous garden as the site of the Hirado Azalea; and a natural monument of the prefecture at the nearby Okanaka-Jinshasha.

It was reportedly founded by Gyoki by Emperor Shōmu's royal service in Tenpō 7 (745). It became more desolated during the later North and South Dynasties, but was rebuilt by Moritsugu Fujiwara in the third year of Shitoku (1386). Honson, who has a strong faith from the locals, is known as Yao Jizo. It is said that there is a safe-living ritual. In the precinct stands a stone monument of the oldest kawachi noontodo cradle, and the festival is greatly enlivened by Bon Dance during the annual summer Jizo ceremony.

A croquette shop in a nostalgic shopping street since 1955. 80 yen croquettes fried over high heat are popular for children and adults. It is a signboard product that sells 3000 pieces a day. I want to wander around the Tenjin Hashibasi shopping street with freshly made croquettes fried in front of me. Minchi cutlet is 130 yen.
