Renkei-ji Temple
川越市連雀町７−１
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple that serves as the fifth station of the Kozawara Kawagoe Seven Lucky Gods pilgrimage, enshrining Fukurokuju (the deity of longevity, fortune, and happiness).
History
Founded in 1549 by Masashige Ouchi, the lord of Kawagoe Castle, in memory of his late mother, Lady Renkei. The founding abbot was Kan'yo Sonjo, Masashige's nephew, and generations of high-ranking monks have served as the head priest. During the Edo period, the temple became one of the eighteen Kanto Tanden (monastic schools) of the Jodo-shu sect, functioning as a government-recognized institution for training monks and producing many scholarly priests.
