Hiratsuka-yama Anrakuin Jōkandera

北区上中里1丁目42−8

3.8(77)

A Shingon Buddhist temple of the Hozan school located in Kamichūri, Kita Ward, Tokyo. It houses historical cultural assets, including the graves of the Taki Keizan family.

History

The temple was founded when a monk from Anrakuji in Chikuzū left behind an image of Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) during a stay, and the temple was named Anrakuin. In the Edo period, Yamakawa Sadahisa revived the temple as the Bette (head priest) of Hiratsuka Myōjin, converting it into a Shingon Buddhist temple. In gratitude for the recovery of Tokugawa Iemitsu from illness, the temple was granted the name Hiratsuka-yama Jōkandera Anrakuin. However, it was separated from Hiratsuka Shrine during the Meiji era due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism.
