Eisenji Temple
網走市南６条東２丁目
A Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha (True Pure Land School, Hongwanji branch) temple located in Abashiri City, Hokkaido, widely known for featuring the former main gate of the Abashiri Prison as its sanmon (mountain gate).
History
This Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha temple was founded in the late Meiji period by Teranaga Hosen. Because Teranaga Hosen, who served for many years as the chaplain (kyogishi) of the Abashiri Prison, was the abbot, the former main gate of the Abashiri Prison was auctioned and transferred to the temple in 1924 to serve as its entrance gate.
