Hobutsu-zan Tozen-ji

〒270-0014 千葉県松戸市小金359

4.3(553)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, famous for its weeping cherry blossoms. It boasts a history of flourishing as one of the Kanto Juhachi Danrin (the eighteen major Buddhist seminaries of the Kanto region) and is a renowned temple where visitors can enjoy nature in all four seasons.

History

Founded in 1481 CE (Bunmei 13) by the monk Keiyo Gote Unko, who was from Shinano Province, within the Noki area. It was relocated to its current site during the Tenmon period (1532-1555 CE). In the early Edo period, it was designated as one of the Kanto Juhachi Danrin. It became a Chokuganjo (a temple receiving imperial patronage) under Emperor Meiji. However, it lost many of its buildings due to the Haibutsu Kishaku (the anti-Buddhist movement) and other factors. It also lost its economic foundation due to the post-war agricultural land reform. Nevertheless, reconstruction efforts have been advanced through the dedicated efforts of successive abbots.
