Virtual Tama Aqueduct Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #19 Daion-ji Temple

 

     According to "Setagaya Castle Meizan Tokiwaki", Kira Yoriyasu (?-1562), who was subject to the Later Hojo Clan, built Okuzawa Fortress in Ebara County, Musashi Province, and stationed Ohira Dewanokami there.  The Ohira Family built another fort in Okuzawa.  As the fort was noisy, it was called Daion, literally Loud Voice, by the locals.  After the collapse of the clan in 1590, Yoriyasu's adopted son, Ujitomo (1543-1603), fled to Kazusa Province, and the Ohira Family evacuated to Todoriki in the same county.  Under the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Watanabe Family ruled the village.

     At the beginning of the 18th century, the Watanabe Family founded Daion-ji Temple, inviting Priest Nen'yo.
