The temple features red timber buildings with green copper roofs, situated on a hill overlooking Kiso River and Inuyama Castle.
Established in 1953 as a branch of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple from Narita, the temple complex expanded through donations from local railway companies.
The temple enshrines Fudo Myoo, the principal deity holding a sword and rope, representing protection and guidance within Shingon Buddhism traditions.
The temple provides parking for 600 vehicles and stands 5 minutes from Inuyamayuen Station, with dedicated areas for vehicle blessing ceremonies.
