Hoji-ji Shogetsu-in

板橋区赤塚8丁目4−9

4.0(239)

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple with the mountain name Manjitsu-zan. It is known as a temple of historical significance within Itabashi Ward, housing many items associated with Takashima Shuhan.

History

The temple's origins date back to 1492, when Chiba Mitsuichine designated the ancient temple Hoji-ji in the area as his family's ancestral temple and renamed it Shogetsu-in. During the Edo period, it was recognized by Tokugawa Ieyasu and granted tax-exempt land. In the late Edo period, it served as a base for Takashima Shuhan's artillery training, gaining widespread fame. During the Meiji era, the village office of the former Akatsuka Village was once located within the temple grounds.
