Jokenji Temple was built in 1611 by Ooka Tadamasa, the second generation head of the Ooka family, whose main domain was Tsutsumi Village, as a memorial to his father Tadakatsu. It is a family temple of the Ooka family that produced the famous magistrate of the Edo period, Ooka Echizen-no-kami Tadasuke. The family gravesite is a city-designated historical site, and the temple forest and the Ohatsuki-Icho ginkgo tree that stands beside the gravesite is a prefectural natural monument. In addition, a seated statue of Benzaiten (Sarasvati), believed to have been constructed in the Muromachi period, is designated as an important cultural property of the prefecture.
