Eiganjiji Temple
Sōtō Zen sect. The first temple of the Wakasa Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage. Founded in 1413 in what is now Eishin-chō. Relocated to its present site in 1607 by Uta no Sōtei.
The Mito Tengu Party included 11 young boys. It is said that Ryudo, the chief priest of Eiganji Temple, took pity on them, petitioned the magistrate's office, and took the 11 boys in as Buddhist disciples.
