Gokokuji

〒112-0012 東京都文京区大塚5丁目40−1

4.3(2288)

A temple of the Shugyosha sect of Shingon Buddhism located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, possessing numerous Important Cultural Properties, including the main hall and the Gekkado (Moonlight Hall).

History

In 1681 CE (Tenno 1), Tokugawa Tsunayoshi granted land to Ryoken, the abbot of the Daisai Gokokuji in Takasaki, and ordered the construction of the temple to fulfill the wishes of his mother, Keishoin. During the Edo period, it was popular as a lodging temple for special public openings, following Asakusa Temple and Kaion-in. In the Meiji era, it suffered due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism, and it is now a temple of the Shugyosha sect of Shingon Buddhism.
