Pilgrimage Site No. 1: Simabuji Temple
秩父市栃谷４１８
A Soto sect temple with the mountain name Sokukeizan. It is the first site of the 34 Chichibu Pilgrimage Sites and is designated as a historic site in Chichibu City.
History
In 1007 CE, Gentsu traveled to this area on the orders of Shuko Shonin of Shoshaizan in Harima. To teach the local people, he recited 40,000 copies of the Myoho-ryuge (Wonderful Sutra) morning and evening, performing offerings and building a sutra mound, which is considered the origin of the temple. It was formerly a branch temple named Myoninji, but it adopted the current name when the parent temple was closed.
