The Shojo-ji Temple features traditional Japanese architecture with multiple halls, including the Amida Hall and the Founder's Hall, surrounded by gardens.
Established in 1385 by Dosho, following Shinran's teachings during his exile in Echizen province, where he spread Buddhist doctrine to local followers.
