Entonji (Entonji Temple)
荒川区南千住１丁目５９−１１
A Sotō sect temple located in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, with the mountain name Futayama. It is known for the graves of those who died in the Shoigatai battle and a memorial Jizo statue related to the Yoshiten-chan incident.
History
According to temple tradition, it was founded in 791 CE (Enryaku 10) by Sakanoue no Tamamaro. The main gate of Kan'ei-ji, which was located near the site where Shoigatai members who died in the Battle of Ueno during the Meiji Restoration were cremated, was relocated here, and graves for the members were established. Additionally, the body of the victim of the Yoshiten-chan incident was temporarily buried here and later discovered from the cemetery within the grounds, leading to the installation of a memorial Jizo statue for the victim.
