Kōan-ji
文京区本郷1丁目8−18
A Jōdo Shinshū Hongwanji-ha temple located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. It currently conducts missionary activities under the slogan 'Righteous offerings, overflowing life.'
History
Founded in 1615 CE (Genna 1) by Sōshin. At the request of the Edo Shogunate, Sōshin traveled to Edo and established a temple in the group residence of the Ooka clan, who served as vassals to the Shogun. Because this temple was leasing land from the Ooka clan, the temple's land was not confiscated when the Ooka clan was stripped of their domain.

What visitors say
A modern, building-style temple located in the city center, with a very clean precinct. The cemetery is divided into sections named after flowers, creating a structure that is easy for nuclear families to manage. It is within walking distance of Honjo-sanchome Station and Suidobashi Station, but nearby coin parking is expensive, so it is recommended to check rates in advance.
