Takidan-ji

Takidan-ji was founded in 1377 AD and moved to its present location in 1381. During the Muromachi period it was patronized by the Asakura clan and during the Sengoku period by Shibata Katsuie. Under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate, it was patronized by the Matsudaira clan, daimyō of Fukui Domain and had many sub-temples. Following the Meiji restoration, the temple became much reduced in scale. Many of its surviving structures date from the Edo period.
