An ancient temple of the Rinzai sect.
This Zen Temple was founded in 1322 by 弧峰覚明 Koho Kakumyo (三光国師 Sanko Kokushi)
and is one of the oldest Zen temples in the Izumo region.
This is where Emperor Go-Daigo offered his prayers.
It has a number of cultural properties, such as a four-pillared gate with a gabled roof (Shikyakumon)
and 高麗梵鐘 a Korean copper bell, and there is a dry landscape garden of about 33,000 square meters behind the prients’ chambers.
The quiet surroundings may make this place appear a rigid Zen temple,
but the azaleas that bloom in May are a sight to behold.

A Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple that is counted among of the oldest Zen temples in the Izumo region.
It was founded in 1322 by the priest Koho Kakumyo who had earned the trust of Emperor Godaigo and Emperor Gomurakami.
The precious large shikyakumon four-pillared gate at the end of the pine tree lined approach dates from the 1300s and escaped fires, helping it survive to the present day.
The precincts are also home to one of the prefecture's few Korean bells.
The temple is also a popular spot for viewing azaleas; the site of hundreds of them blooming together is superb.
