Naritasan Shinshoji Temple is the main temple of the Shingon Sect of Chizan-ha Buddhism. Founded by Archbishop Kancho in the third year of Tenkei (940), the temple is dedicated to Fudo Myouou, the god of fire; the image of which was carved and consecrated by Saint Kobo Daishi. Since its foundation, Shinshoji has attracted many followers of the Fudo faith, and is visited by about ten million people a year.

Naritasan Park is a large garden with a gross area of 165,000 m2, located behind the main building of the Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. Especially noteworthy are the flowering trees and shrubs around Monju pond and Ryuju pond, displaying exquisite colors through all seasons. Inside the park is also a calligraphy museum (fee charged), where many modern calligraphy masterworks are exhibited.

This sanctuary was built in the memory of those killed in battle, when General Sakanoueno Tamuramaro suppressed a civil war in the Tohoku area during the era of Emperor Kammu (781-806 A.D.). About 350 years ago, Sogo (Sogoro Kiuchi) boldly made a plea to the Shogun to save farmers who were suffering from famine and oppressive taxation. Because direct appeals to the Shogun were prohibited at that time, Sogo and his children were crucified as punishment. The story of Sogo has become known nationwide - also as a play called “Self-Sacrificing Man Sakura Sogo.” Toshoji is Sogo’s family temple.
