noninji-temple-1.jpg
The origin of Noninji Temple traces back to the Muromachi period when the feudal warlord, Iekatsu Nakayama invited the well-known monk Montatsu Fuoku, to build a small hut. The site became a temple for the son of Iekatsu Ienori to mourn the death of his father. Terumori entered the service of Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa, and with Tokugawa support, the temple developed into a thriving monastery.
