Yagoto-san Kōshō-ji Temple

A Shingon Buddhist temple founded in 1688 by Priest Tenrui Enshō. Long revered as a place for learning and training. Since Tokugawa Mitsutomo (1625-1700), the second lord of the Owari Domain, became a devotee, Kōshō-ji received support from the Owari Tokugawa family, including the construction of temple halls and donations of many treasures. The grounds feature many Edo-period structures, such as the Nishiyama Main Hall and Nōman Hall.
