and drove from the Tohoku region of Honshu to the island of Hokkaido.
This temple in his honor remained till the Edo period.
Around 1892, the priest 大慈遍照 Daiji Henjo of the second generation kept the temple.
Priest 真養大和尚 Shinyo Daiosho renovated the temple and gave it its present name.
Until our day many people in the village have the name of 田村 Tamura.
