Eikyuji Temple

台東区三ノ輪2丁目14−5

3.1(97)

A Tendaishu (Tendai) Buddhist temple located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, also known as the 'Meki Kongo' (Yellow-Eyed Fudo) of the Edo Goshoku Fudo (Five-Colored Fudo statues).

History

Founded during the Nanbokucho period, the temple was originally Shingon Buddhist but later changed affiliations to Zen and Nichiren sects. During the Edo period, it was converted to a Tendaishu temple by Keikai. In the Kanbun era, it was renamed 'Eikyuji.' The temple was rebuilt by Yamano Eikyu to offer prayers for those who died by execution, and its name is derived from his name.
