It is said to have been erected by Hideyasu, the 18th generation of the Yuki family during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, to mourn the bodhisattva of his daughter, Matsuhime. It is also known as one of the Jōdo sect Kanto-hachi Danrin (a school of the sect). In the second year of Kanpo (1742), the village of Yōsheng, who relied on the poet Sunaoka Yanatago, who had a great influence on the culture of the Edo period, visited Yūjō, then turned himself in to Kokkei-ji Temple. He left behind excellent pictures such as the Sumime drawing and the Tōkaku drawing. There is a tomb of Ganago and a punctuation of the village of Kōmura in the lush green precinct with a row of cherry trees.

Hongkei Temple

The year of Oei 21 (1414) is a famous temple of the Jodo sect, reportedly as the Genjon. A great deal of donation was made by the Tokugawa family to rebuild the main hall and bell tower (currently under reconstruction facilities and cannot be seen), from where they were deeply devoted to the tenth-generation Ryokujinjin, and established it as a bodhi-ji temple. The main hall, which is the best of the temple architecture of the early Edo period, is renovated in 2007. You can feel the power of the Tokugawa shogunate in the Buddhist tools and furnishings. On the left side of the main hall is the tomb of Chihime.
