Yurinku-ji

台東区谷中1丁目7−15

3.9(141)

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Founded by Yozan Gencho, it has a historical background as a temple with its own land holdings.

History

Founded in 1591 CE (Tensho 19) by Yozan Gencho, this Soto Zen temple was granted a temple estate of 21 koku 8 to of rice by the Edo Shogunate in 1648 CE (Keian 1). Because it owned the surrounding land as its estate, many temples of various sects rented land within its precincts to establish their own grounds.
