    This temple is a temple of the Jodo sect Chionin school. The principal image is Amida Nyorai. It is also a family temple in the neighborhood of my house. The priest here is 73 years old this year and is a very personality. If you have any problems, they will consult you seriously. This temple is healed for some reason.

    is it a temple related to the saionji family?

    Original Text

    It is a jodo sect temple with Sango (literally, "mountain name"), which is the title prefixed to the name of a Buddhist temple, and INGO (a title given to a Buddhist priest). The jodo sect temples are generally closed except for some parts, and there are many temples with high thresholds that reject the people who come (except for the cherry blossoms) (the Zen sect temple is also cherry blossoms).
