Naka-in Temple

Directly to the south of Kitain Temple, this is a temple with a quiet atmosphere. Around the end of the Kamakura era, this temple of the Tendai School was branched from Muryojuji Temple and served as the major temple in this area until Tenkai-Sojo came to Kitain Temple. Naka-in Temple is known for its association with the author Shimazaki Toson, and within the grounds of the temple is the teahouse Fusentei that was associated with Shimazaki Toson and continues to be used and preserved today by practitioners of the tea ceremony. Fusentei has been designated as a cultural property of Kawagoe City.
