Nishiyamanaka Jōjō-ji

〒232-0006 神奈川県横浜市南区南太田1丁目24−41

4.4(75)

A Nichiren sect temple located in Minami Ward, Yokohama City, with the mountain name Nishiyamanaka. It enshrines a statue of Kishimojin (the Guardian of Children), which was once enshrined in the Great Inner Chamber (Daiō) during the Edo period.

History

In 1868 (Meiji 1), the preaching hall was established with Nichishū of the Jikyōin at Seichūzan Hokkekyō-ji as the founding monk. In 1879 (Meiji 12), the temple was renamed Jōjō-ji and a consecration ceremony was held. The various halls that collapsed during the Great Kanto Earthquake were rebuilt in 1924 (Taishō 13).

What visitors say

This temple is adjacent to Minami-Ōta Station and features a unique approach path that passes under the elevated railway. Climbing the steep stairs from the mountain gate reveals a magnificent Niōmon (Guardian Gate) and main hall adorned with exquisite carvings. The decorations and carvings on the main hall are highly detailed and worth viewing, and the cemetery on the back mountain offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area.
