    昔から「畑中の比丘さま」と呼ばれた、畑のまんなかにある。真言宗のお寺です。関東八十八ヶ所の74番目のお寺、関東花の寺埼玉6番のお寺です。遠山記念館の近くで、東武バスの路線バスの停留所からだと15分以上歩くので、車で訪問する方が現実的です。私が訪問したときは、参拝の方はどなたもいらっしゃいませんでしたが、旅行会社の霊場巡りツアーなどもあるようで、大型バスもとまれる駐車場がありました。

Eclipsed by neighboring Tokyo, Saitama is often branded as the sleepy suburbs. However, look a little deeper and you’ll uncover quaint towns bursting with history and crafts from the kurazukuri Edo-period clay houses of Kawagoe to the ancient tree-enveloped temples of Chichibu.
