Shinagawa-ji

品川区南品川3丁目5−17

4.0(382)

A temple of the Daigo school of Shingon Buddhism, it is the 31st station of the Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and the first station of the Edo Six Jizos. It is known for its deep ties with the city of Geneva, Switzerland, and for the history of friendship and the return of its Buddhist bell.

History

Founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai, the temple complex was established by Ota Doga during the Daian era (806–1457 CE). After falling into ruin due to war, it was revived in 1652 CE (Jo 1) by the priest Kozon, who gave it its current name.

A large statue, one of the Edo Six Jizos, stands before the mountain gate, and a majestic ginkgo tree over 600 years old stands within the grounds. The main hall features Sanskrit characters and paintings, as well as a Buddhist bell that was discovered after having flowed overseas in the late Edo period. Other highlights include statues of the Seven Lucky Gods and a turtle pedestal, allowing for a quiet and peaceful visit.
