It is a historic temple that was founded and built within Edo Castle. It was originally the site of the Suwa Shrine, which is associated with Nagano, so the mountain name "Suwayama" was given to it. The mountain gate, which escaped the disaster of the Great Tokyo Air Raid, has a majestic and dignified appearance. The main hall, kitchen, and guest hall were rebuilt in modern times. It is not a very famous temple, but it is a hidden cherry blossom spot with a spectacular weeping cherry blossom.
