    Tokyo Arakawa-ku Minami-senju 1-59-11
    A five-minute walk from Minowa Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. Records state this Soto Buddhist temple was established in 791 by shogun and general Sakanoue no Tamuramaro. In the Edo period, it was known as one of the Three Temples of Shitaya along with the Kotokuji Temple in Shitaya and the Kishimojin in Iriya. The temple became connected to the Boshin War when it held a memorial service for the Shogitai samurai who fought the armed forces of the new government at the Battle of Ueno in 1868; thereafter, in 1907, the Kaneiji temple's Ueno Kuromon (Black Gate), which became the center of the fighting in Ueno, was moved here to this temple. The gate is pockmarked with bullet holes, an indication of the intensity of the battle which took place.

    仏塔と観音像が合体したような寺院の建築はなかなかのアバンギャルドさでした。境内には上野寛永寺から移設された黒門が残されており、こちらは文化財として見ものと思います。

  • Kogan-ji Temple (Togenuki Jizoson)

    Tokyo Toshima-ku Sugamo 3-35-2
    This Soto Buddhist temple is popularly called the Togenuki Jizoson. A statue of the bodhisattva Kshitigarbha, donated by a man in prayer for his wife’s recovery from illness after childbirth, is the temple’s principle object of worship. Legend has it that when a piece of paper with an image of the bodhisattva was floated on a river, his wife was healed. Based on this legend, it is said that affixing a piece of washi paper with the statue’s image imprinted on it sold at the temple to an injured area will hill the injury. A bronze statue called the “Washing Kannon” also stands on the temple grounds which is believed to cure illness.

    Tokyo Toshima-ku Sugamo 5-35-6
    This is an annex of Honjo Temple, the grand head temple of the Hokke sect, located about a ten-minute walk away from Sugamo Station. Originally built in 1571 in Sunpu (modern-day Shizuoka), it was later moved to Shimizu Gate when the Tokugawa government took hold in Edo Castle. Then in 1657, it was associated with the start of the Great fire of Meireki, which burned down a large portion of Edo. There is a memorial tower located there now, as well as a tomb for the late Edo-era swordsman Chiba Shusaku, and tomb for Toyama Kagemoto, a noted samurai official Toyama no Kin-san. There are also tombs for one of the grand Go master, Honinbo, and other noted figures.

    こちらは、徳栄山総持院と号し、法華宗陣門流総本山本成寺の別院だそうです。 山門・本堂がとても立派でした。 ここには千葉周作、遠山金四郎が眠っていました。

    Tokyo Arakawa-ku Nishiogu 2-25-21
    "A Soto Buddhist temple located a one-minute walk from the Miyanomae stop on the Toden Arakawa Line. Founded in 1596, the temple was originally built in Honjoishiwara-cho and was moved to its current location in the early modern Taisho era. The year after the Oji train line connecting Asukayama and Minowa was opened in the area in 1913, the temple's chief priest discovered a hot spring on the grounds and it began operating a bathhouse called the Tera no Yu (""Temple Bathhouse""), later changed to the Furokaku (""Palace of Eternal Youth""). Though this bathhouse has long-since been closed, at the time, it marked the start of a boom in the leisure industry in the Ogu area, with shopping arcades and hot spring inns popping up one after another, and thus today the temple is also famous as the site of this former bathhouse."

    荒川区西尾久にあるお寺。特に見所もないお寺ではあるけどここにはかつて鉱泉が湧き出ており、周辺にはいくつもの温泉宿があった場所。料理屋、芸妓屋、待合の三業が栄えた遊興地であった場所として辛うじて残る名残の地です。

    巣鴨駅から徒歩10分。 1596年創建の真言宗豊山派の寺院。本尊は阿弥陀如来。現本堂は1980年築の鉄筋コンクリート造。豊島八十八ヶ所霊場の62番札所。かつては隣接する染井稲荷神社の別当であった。 江戸時代の園芸家で徳川吉宗の御用植木師であった伊藤伊兵衛政武の墓がある。この人が「ソメイヨシノ」を生み出したという説があるが、実は明確な根拠は何もない。

    徳源院にまつられている「日限地蔵尊」は、寺伝によると寛政五年（1793)に近くの「動坂」に建立されたものです。それが「動坂の日限り地蔵」として崇敬されてきたたとのことです。願いごとを日を限って祈願すれば、不思議と満願できる「日限地蔵」といわれてきました。 昭和六十年（1985）に動坂からここに移されたそうです。古寺の境内の庭は綺麗な緑豊かな寺院です。

    都電の新庚申塚駅から徒歩3分ほど。白山通り（国道17号）に面している。 730年創建の天台宗の寺院。本尊は聖観世音菩薩。 境内は塀で囲まれており、現代的な山門があるが扉は閉じられていた。敷地内には6階建ての建物があるが、このご時世、寺院の経営を成り立たせるために賃貸マンションを経営しているのかもしれない。 中がどうなっているのか分からないが、外観からは魅力のある寺院には見えなかった。

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.
