History
In 1939（Showa 14), the founded chief priest Ryusho devoted himself to the Buddhist gate and devoted himself to missionary work, and in 1949(Showa 24) he established the Daishi Church in Nagahashi-cho.
As a prayer center, it provides relief to a large number of believers.
A new temple was built at the current location in 1975(Showa 50), and the official name of a temple of Ryusho-ji is named from Daigo-ji, the head temple.
