Kokoma-yama Gionji Shrine

調布市佐須町2丁目18−1

4.2(73)

A shrine located in Sasho-machi, Chofu City, Tokyo. It served as the tutelary deity (Chinju) of the former Sasho Village and also played the role of the guardian deity of Shindenji Temple.

History

The shrine was founded in 588 CE (Sushun 2) by inviting the deity Oshinomi-oso. The grandparents of the monk Man'ko Shonin were enshrined here, and the shrine was designated as the guardian deity of Shindenji Temple. The priests of the Kokoma-yama Nikko-in 'Gionji' performed rituals here until the Edo period.

What visitors say

The shrine grounds are relatively spacious, with the main hall (Hondo) directly ahead upon passing through the gate, and the Jizendo (Kannon Hall) and Yakushi-do (Medicine Buddha Hall) arranged on the left and right. Regular events such as sutra copying and matcha (green tea) experiences are held, creating a calm atmosphere deeply rooted in the local community. Goshuin (shrine seal stamps) are provided as pre-written copies. Subtle considerations are also evident, such as the floral decorations at the Temizuya (hand-washing pavilion) and the historic pine trees.
