Tokyo Daibutsu Jorenji (Tokyo Great Buddha Jorenji Temple)
板橋区赤塚５丁目２８−３
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land Sect) temple of the special rank (Bekkyaku Honzan), known for housing the Tokyo Great Buddha. The temple is bustling with visitors during Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year) on New Year's Day.
History
Founded during the Oei era (1394–1427 CE) by Ryoken Muteki in Yamanaka Village to teach the people. In the early Edo period, it relocated to Nakayado in Itabashi Ward and became a temple of high status, receiving a land grant (Shuinchi) from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1973, it moved to its current location in Akatsuka (the site of the second enclosure of Akatsuka Castle) and adopted the mountain name (Yango) Akatsuka-yama.

What visitors say
This Great Buddha is located within Tokyo and has an impressive presence when viewed up close. The temple grounds are compact, but in addition to the Great Buddha, various stone statues are scattered throughout. Goshuin (a shrine's calligraphic seal stamp) is available as a pre-written copy (Shobiki). Since there are specific opening and closing times for worship, it is recommended to check in advance before visiting.
