Anrakuji Temple was founded by the monk Choankyuko in 1586. The principal image enshrined there is a statue of Amida Buddha, said to have been made by Gyoki Bosatsu. Before the temple was founded, in 1537, when the Oda and Ima River were fighting, it is said that the statue was moved from Kosanji Temple in Ano to escape the fires of war. In 1845, during the time of the 11th abbot of the temple, Tokuho, the main hall was rebuilt. In Showa, the Kobo Daishi Hall was rebuilt. Within the grounds, there is the Hon-Shikoku Osuna-fumi Sacred Site, which is modeled after the topography of Shikoku, and in the center is a thirteen Mie pagoda and a statue of Shugyo Daishi. Cherry blossoms can be seen in spring, and lotus flowers can be seen from the end of June to early August. The main hall's transom is carved with a dynamic dragon, the work of Nakano Jinemon Shigetomi, a sculptor of the Tachikawa school.
