Chikoji Temple
文京区大塚３丁目２８−１２
A temple of the Jodo-shu (Pure Land) sect located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. It has a history dating back to its founding at the site where Tokugawa Ieyasu's biological mother was cremated.
History
This Jodo-shu temple was founded in 1644 by Monnetsu (effectively Jozon). It was established at the location where Ooku no Kata, the biological mother of Tokugawa Ieyasu, was cremated. Due to the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945 and subsequent urban redevelopment, the temple relocated to its current site in 1950.

What visitors say
The temple grounds are very well-maintained, giving a tidy impression with few fallen leaves. Highlights include stone lanterns transferred from Zojoji Temple and the graves of Shinsengumi members. Depending on the season, yuzu harvested from within the grounds may be distributed to visitors. It is a place where one can worship in a calm atmosphere.
