神奈川県横浜市港北区高田西4-34-35 / Kanagawa, Yokohama city, Kita ward, Takada Nishi

The main statue is 馬頭観世音菩薩 Bato Kannon Bosatsu.

The temple was founded in 851 by 慈覚大師円仁 Jikaku Daishi Ennin.
. Jikaku Daishi Ennin 慈覚大師仁円 (794 - 864) . .

The wife of 文徳天皇 Emperor Montoku (regent from 826 - 858) could not have children for a long time.
Jikaku Daishi went to Takada in Yokohama, where a special well was found.
The Empress became well soon after drinking the water.
She then had three children. After each birth, she sprinkled some of the water on the head of the baby.
When the third boy was born, she sprinkled water again and the water begun to shine on his head.
The third child later became 清和天皇 Emperor Seiwa Tenno (858 - 876).
Emperor Montoku ordered to have a temple build near the well.
This temple became known as 塩谷寺 Enkoku-Ji.
The temple later became desolate.
Around 1649, it was revived and the farmers came here to pray.
Since the farmers kept many horses, they had a statue of Bato Kannon with a Horse Head made to pray to.
At the place of the former Main Hall there is now 薬師堂 a Hall for Yakushi Nyorai.
In 1964, a kindergarden was opened in the compound, 光明幼稚園 Komyo Yochi-En.

The evening before the owner of a home had asked for rebuilding,
the grandparents were in the back house and the owner and his children went there to eat dinner
and the parents were doing some work at the Kotatsu heater.
Nearby was was a temple named 慈眼寺 Jigen-Ji with a large tree.
Suddenly the parents heard the sound of the tree falling down.
They became afraid and went to the main living room,
but no-one else of the family had heard any sound.
A Tanuki had come the the back of the hearth
and wiping its tail had caused the sound.
Thus he had deceived the parents.
