Jokoji Temple
葛飾区東四つ木１丁目５−９
A Tendai sect temple known as the Kinoshita River Yakushi (Medicine Buddha) temple. During the Edo period, it was designated as a prayer site for the Tokugawa shogunate and as a dining location for their falconry expeditions.
History
According to tradition, the temple's origin dates back to 849 CE (Kajo 2), when the monk Ko-chi from Daiji Temple in Shimotsuke Province built a simple hut to house a statue of Yakushi Nyorai (Medicine Buddha). In 860 CE (Jogan 2), the monk Keikan established it as a formal temple and named it Jokoji. During the Edo period, it served as a prayer site for the Tokugawa shogunate and a dining location for falconry, gaining deep devotion from the ruling class.
