    Tokyo Koutou-ku Tomioka 1-17-13
    The Tokyo branch temple of the Buddhist Daihonzan Naritasan Shinshoji Temple in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture. Since ancient times, this temple has been popularly known by the honorific nickname “Fukagawa no o-Fudou-sama.” The temple’s principle object of worship is a figure of Acala which is believed by many to ward away evil. With the submission of the proper application form to the temple office, anyone may attend the temple’s goma ceremony in which cedar wood is burned before the statue of Acala in prayer for a blessing. Visitors may also participate in traditional sutra copying and Buddhist imagery tracing.

    There are Buddist Temples and there are Buddist Temples throughout Asia. This one is special and any description will not be able to convey the sense of involvement with the fire ritual ceremony. We...

    Tokyo Koutou-ku Tomioka 1-20-3
    This shrine located in the Tomioka district of Tokyo’s Koto City is affectionately known as the “Hachiman-sama of Fukagawa” and was established in 1624. The shrine attracted religious faith from the commoners as a tutelary shrine under the Tokugawa shogun family, and every year around August 15th the Fukagawa Hachiman Matsuri (Fukagawa Matsuri) procession is held which is said to be one of the three largest festivals of Edo, boasting Japan’s largest ichi-no-miya mikoshi (portable shrine). It is also famous as the birthplace of Edo’s Kanjin-zumo, and there are many stone monuments on the premises such as the Yokozuna Stone, a stone monument to commend successive yokozuna sumo wrestlers.

    Interesting flea market held at the temple on Sunday mornings. As you might expect, lots of Japanese arts and crafts. Prices seemed reasonable. Worth combining with a visit to the nearby Fukugawa...

    Tokyo Koutou-ku Fukagawa 2-16-3
    A Buddhist temple standing along Metropolitan Road 463 in 2 Chome, Fukagawa, Koto City. The temple's seated figure of King Yama, judge of the afterlife, is 3.5 meters tall and weighs 1.5 tons, making it the largest in Japan. Some of the temple's many other highlights include 16 paintings created in 1784 depicting heaven and hell on display in the main temple, and a stone bearing the footprint of Soga Goro, a historical figure famously depicted in the popular kabuki play known as the Soga Monogatari.

    This is a lovely Budist temple with people worshipping through the day. Its calm even though its on the main road. Worth a quick visit

The setting of countless iconic movie scenes and the inspiration for songs, poetry, and literature worldwide, Tokyo barely requires an introduction. It’s hard for the kaleidoscopic neon lights, wacky pop culture, and some of the world’s tallest structures not to instill excitement in any first-time visitor to Tokyo, whether you’re in the very center of the hustle and bustle in Shinjuku or Shibuya or looking in from the quieter suburbs.
