おん　ろけい　じんばら　きりく　

The temple was founded in 812 by 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi Kukai.

When he walked nearby on his way to 伊勢神宮 the Shrine of Ise Jingu,
he found a golden rope, heard the beautiful voice of a rooster and found a bottle of ritual water.
These "three auspicious treasures" led to the name Kinjuuzan 金縄山 "Mountain of the golden rope".
It was later shortened to kanenawa 金縄 "golden rope" and then called 今井山 Imaizan.

On the second floor of the bell tower there are on the left and right statues of
kongoo rikishi 金剛力士 the guardian deities of the entrance.

In the front yard of the main hall is a famous shidarezakura 枝垂桜 weeping cherry blossom tree.
It has been given to the head priest by 太閤秀吉 Toyotomi Hideyoshi, when he visited Daigo-Ji 醍醐寺
for the famous cherry blossop viewing party, ”醍醐の花見の宴” in 1598.

Now it is part of the Kan'ō kai 観桜会 Cherry blossom viewing ritual,
where the doors are opened to view the main statue.
There are many importand cultural properties in the temple.
