Zenkoji Tokai Betsuin (Zenkoji Tokai Branch Temple)
稲沢市祖父江町祖父江南川原５７−２
A standalone Buddhist temple located in Inazawa City, Aichi Prefecture, with the formal name Souryenzan Zenkoji. It is famous for the 'Gokuraku Kaidan Meguri' (Paradise Kaidan Pilgrimage), a ritual where participants wear amulets that glow in the dark as they enter the underground chamber.
History
Founded in 1910 CE (Meiji 43). To distinguish it from the main Zenkoji in Shinshu and other Zenkoji temples in various regions, it is also known as Soe Zenkoji or Owari Zenkoji.

What visitors say
The vast grounds feature a towering main hall, creating a solemn atmosphere that evokes a sense of history. The underground Kaidan Pilgrimage offers a unique experience of groping one's way through total darkness, allowing visitors to behold a divine space modeled after the Pure Land. Please note that the interior can be cold in winter, and the presence of many steps makes it difficult to accommodate barrier-free access.
