Renkō-ji

Buddhist temple

👍 This is so great of Japan where they have donated a statue with the Hindi and the Japanese inscription on it.

Ganzan-daishi Hall

Buddhist temple

👍👍 A hall dedicated to the three former masters. I haven't seen the inside, but it's a nice hall. Nearby are the six-faced Jizo statue, the Senju Kannon statue, and the small stone statues of Gensan Daishi (probably).

The mayor of Tama Ward and the members of the council from Chiho were also present, and the event was quite successful. However, considering that it was a Sunday and that I could appreciate the w...

Tōgaku-in

Buddhist temple

👍👍 都内からこんな近くに、こんな良い雰囲気の落ち着く寺が有ったとは。細い道を入って行くとまず立派な威風堂々とした山門が見えて来ます。この山門を見に来るだけでも十分に来る価値は有ります。別名「ツツジ寺」と言われているそうで、ツツジの時期が賑わうらしいですが、ツツジが咲いていなくても寺の良さは感じられ...

Jissōin

Buddhist temple

👍👍 Jissoin is located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo. This temple has deep connections with the Kira clan (Musashi Kira clan), who were the hatamoto of the Tokugawa shogunate. (It is the same family as the Kira clan of Chushingura, but it is a different lineage.) Kaiki was a vassal of the Odawara Hojo clan d...

Sanpōji Temple

Buddhist temple

👍 Until the Edo period, the grounds extended to Sanpoji Pond in Shakujii Park, and Itsukushima Shrine, located at the pond, was originally a subsidiary shrine of Sanpoji Temple. The carvings on the temple bell are wonderful. It is said that the Toyoshima clan, who built Shakujii Castle, founded it dur...

4.00 (122 reviews) (~8.11 km from centre)

Zenrinji

Buddhist temple

👍 三鷹周辺をぷらぷらしてGoogleマップを見ていたら太宰治の墓がある、と気が付いたので立ち寄ってみました。太宰治だけではなく森鴎外のお墓まであるんですね。明治大正の文豪二人のお墓があるなんて侮れません。墓地は開放されており見学は自由のようです。ただ墓地なので見学はお静かに。鴎外の遺言が記された石碑もあり...
