A good name, Ganjoji Temple

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

A long time ago, I lived on Ganjoji-zaka. I was a little worried and raised a gate tag called Doryuan, but I was mistaken for a soba shop and removed it in a hurry. At that time, it was a nostalgic memory that the writer K who came to play gave me a poem that began at "Ganjoji, a good name Nari Keri Hagi no Saka".

This temple was founded at the end of the Warring States period during astronomy, but according to the temple biography, the Nara period. It is said that Gyoki Bodhisattva named it Ho Kameyama because he found a spring that springs up with the guidance of a turtle, just around Junshaku, and is now known as the mountain name. It is one of the most famous temples in Nishi Ward, and is also known for its graves for those who keep their name in the history of the opening of the port.

The cherry blossom trees in front of the gate are wonderful when they are in full bloom.
