Sai-kai-ji Temple
港区三田４丁目１６−２３
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple and the 26th station of the Edo Sanjusan Kannon (33 Kannon Pilgrimage). Once a scenic spot offering a panoramic view of Edo Bay, it was named Sai-kai-ji (Temple of Saving the Sea) to express the wish to save those crossing the waters.
History
Founded in 1621 by Makino Tadanari and the priest Nenmu Sejo. It served as the family temple for the Makino clan, lords of Echigo Nagaoka, and the Matsudaira clan, lords of Iyo Matsuyama, containing the buried remains of 17 generations of the Matsudaira family. From 1859 to 1874, the site was used as the French Consulate General and Embassy.
