This small but attractive temple is one of several temples that lie between Kofu Station and Kai-Zenkoji, and the only claim to fame I found was that a man credited with solving a serious regional disease is buried in the graveyard there. I especially liked the large moss-greened rock near the bell tower.

The temple itself looks new, so it seem the moss is growing very fast!
