Nan'yakuji Temple
文京区本駒込１丁目２０−２０
A Tendaishu sect temple located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, known as the 'Mekabeni Fudo' (Red-Eyed Fudo), one of the Five Colored Fudo of Edo.
History
Founded in 1616 CE (Genna 2) by the preceptor Manjo, who was residing at Nan'yaku on Mount Hiei. It was named 'Mekabeni Fudo' by Tokugawa Iemitsu. In 1788 CE (Tenmei 8), it became a direct branch temple of Kan'ei-ji in Ueno and was granted the temple name 'Nan'yakuji'. The main hall and other structures were destroyed by fire during World War II but were rebuilt after the war.

What visitors say
Despite being situated on a narrow plot typical of urban areas, the temple features a charming hall. Visitors can worship the main deity, Fudo Myo-o (Fudo Bodhisattva), in the Fudo Hall, where Goma (fire ritual) ceremonies are also performed. It is a pilgrimage site for both the Five Colored Fudo of Edo and the Thirty-Six Fudo of Kanto. It is recommended to check the availability of Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seal stamps) in advance for a smoother visit.
