The main statue is 阿弥陀如 Amida Nyorai.

The temple was founded in 1589 by 仙石秀久 Sengoku Hidehisa (1552 - 1614).
The Kannon Statue was carved on request of the rich merchant 丸屋吉兵衛 Maruya Yoshibei,
who had been on a pilgrimage to the Hasedera temple in Nara and wanted a similar large statue in Edo.
During the great earthquakes in 1855 and 1923 the temple hall was destroyed,
but the statue of Kannon was safe.
In 1945 on May 24 the temple and the statue were destroyed by the air raid.
After the war, a small statue of Kannon was placed on the old stone pedestal
but the people called it 駒込大観音 The Big Kannon of Komagome.
In 1993, the original large statue of Kannon was reconstructed.

後深草天皇正嘉元年の鎌倉大地震につづき、正元年中の全国の飢餓は、この佐波路の領民も、その外でなく多くの村民は瀕死の状況にありました。
亮海上人は釈迦牟尼世尊の霊告をうけ、亀山天皇文応元年（1260年）この地に草庵を結び、ひたすら本尊に村民の救済加護を祈願した処、たちまちに飢餓、病魔等を退散させることができたことから、長安寺のなさけ釈迦の名も今に口伝されています。
この亮海上人草庵建立の文応元年（1260年）を開山の年とし、爾来760年有余風雪に耐え、地域の心の依所として今日に輝かしい法燈をつたえています。
