Tennoji
台東区谷中７丁目１４−８
A Tendaishu (Tendai sect) temple located in Yaneshiba, Taito Ward, Tokyo. During the Edo period, it was one of the 'Three Riches of Edo' and was known for its lively atmosphere.
History
The temple's origin dates back to the Kamakura period, when Nichiren stayed at the residence of Kan Kojirō Chōyō. It was founded by Nichigen. In 1641, it received land grants from Tokugawa Iemitsu and others, becoming a prayer site for the shogun's family. Since its founding, it has been a Nichiren-shu (Nichiren sect) temple and belonged to the Fushu-fushi (No Receiving, No Giving) faction from an early stage.
