  🛕 The temple gate and the main hall, which had remained since the Edo period, were completely destroyed by fire during the war, so they were rebuilt in 1949. The beauty of its appearance is said to have been compared to Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris by the writer Kafu Nagai in his essay. Soseki Natsume also depicted Denzuin in his novel "Kokoro." The current main hall was rebuilt in 1988, the second time after the war. The main Buddha image is Amitabha Tathagata, and the Holy Kannon with Immeasurable Life is also enshrined. You can go up into the hall and worship. Denzuin, the 12th temple of the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage, is a temple that many people visit for collecting temple seals (Goshuin). It is located close to subway stations on each line, making it easily accessible, and it also has a parking lot, so you can visit by car. Goshuin can be obtained at the Nokyo-sho (Goshuin office) next to the main hall. There are two types of Goshuin: the main Buddha's G...

 🛕 Located on a hill in Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Denzuin Jukyoji is a Jodo sect temple with the formal name "Muryozan Denzuin Jukyoji". It is the 12th temple of the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage and is also called "Koishikawa Denzuin". It began in 1415 as a small hermitage called "Muryozan Jukyoji," founded by Ryoyo, the seventh patriarch of the Jodo sect. In 1602, it became the family temple of Ieyasu's birth mother, Odai no Kata, and became a large temple with many temple buildings under the protection of the Tokugawa family, where Kamesmatsu, the second son of the third shogun Iemitsu, was buried. The temple's name, Denzuin, is derived from Odai no Kata's Buddhist name, "Denzuindono." It is located within walking distance of Korakuen Station and close to Tokyo Dome, but it is a quiet space that one would not expect to find in the heart of the city. The address is 3-14-6 Koishikawa, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.   🇯🇵JAPAN 🛕Introdu...

 🛕 Ikegami Honmonji Temple is a sacred site where Nichiren Shonin passed away on October 13, 1282, at the age of 61. Nichiren Shonin left Mount Minobu, where he had lived for nine years, on September 8, 1282, to go to Hitachi no Yu for medical treatment. On the way, he died at the residence of Munenaka Ikegami, the lord of Musashi Province Ikegami (present-day Ikegami, Ota-ku, Tokyo). The name Choeizan Honmonji Temple was given by Nichiren Shonin with the prayer that it would prosper long as a dojo of the Hokke Sutra. After Nichiren Shonin's death, Munenaka Ikegami, a great patron of the temple, donated about 70,000 tsubo of temple precincts according to the number of letters in the Hokke Sutra (69,384), and the foundation of the temple was built. Since then, it has been called "Ikegami Honmonji Temple". 1-1-1 Ikegami, Ota-ku, Tokyo https://honmonji.jp/   🇯🇵JAPAN 🛕Introducing amazing temples and shrines in Tokyo⛩️ The main video is available on YouTube.

 🛕 The current main hall was designed by Dr. Chuta Ito, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Imperial University (now the University of Tokyo) and an architectural historian.  This was made possible by the meeting of Dr. Ito, who traveled to various Asian countries for architectural research, and Mitsui Otani (the then-head of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect), who formed an expedition to clarify the Buddhist transmission route and traveled the Silk Road. 3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo https://tsukijihongwanji.jp/   🇯🇵JAPAN 🛕Introducing amazing temples and shrines in Tokyo⛩️ The main video is available on YouTube.

 🛕 Tsukiji Honganji Temple, a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect, is located at 3-chome, Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.  It is one of the most representative temples in Tokyo and a direct temple of Nishi Honganji in Kyoto.  The main deity is a standing statue of Amitabha Tathagata, said to have been hand-carved by Prince Shotoku. It was founded near Asakusa in 1617, but was destroyed by a great fire called the "Meireki no Taika" in 1657.  The land given by the Edo Shogunate for reconstruction was at the current location, but at that time it was at sea. The name "Tsukiji" comes from the fact that the land was reclaimed and the main hall was built. The main hall was destroyed again in 1923 due to a fire following the Great Kanto Earthquake, but it was rebuilt in 1934 and became the current main hall. 3-15-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo https://tsukijihongwanji.jp/   🇯🇵JAPAN 🛕Introducing amazing temples and shrines in Tokyo⛩️ The main video is available on YouTube. ...

 🛕 In the New Year of 1697, there was an order from the shogunate to build a new Kannon-do Hall, and this great construction was completed in about half a year. On August of the same year, a ceremony to celebrate the completion of the temple was held. It is a large structure that is the culmination of architectural craftsmanship of the Genroku era. Its grandeur is admired as one of the best in Tokyo.  Although it has been struck by two major disasters, the earthquake and the war, it has retained its original form and conveys the vestiges of Edo to this day, serving as a place of peace for visitors. When the main hall of Gokokuji Temple was completed in 1682, the Nyoirin Kannon Bosatsu, a natural amber statue from China, which was the personal amulet of Keishoin, was enshrined there. It was later kept as a hidden Buddha, and the statue that is currently enshrined there is the six-armed Nyoirin Kannon Bosatsu. The statue is said to have been donated by Eiryu-in, the mother of H...
