Description
This temple was built approximately 1200 years ago when Kukai (Kobo Daishi) built Rengeji Temple on Adashino land to hold a memorial service for the dead. The area was previously a burial ground for those who did not have someone to tend to their graves. The ”Sento Kuyo” ceremony is held yearly on the nights of August 23rd and 24th.
