Takoen-ji

杉並区高円寺南4丁目18−11

4.0(212)

A district in Suginami Ward, Tokyo, named after the Soto Zen Buddhist temple Shukuhōzan Takoen-ji (Shukuhōzan Takoen-ji Temple).

History

In the early Edo period, the area was known as Ozawa Village. However, when Tokugawa Iemitsu used Shukuhōzan Takoen-ji as a resting place during a falconry hunt, the village was renamed Takoen-ji Village in the Shōhō era (1644–1648) after the temple's name. Due to post-war administrative changes, the area is now divided into Takoen-ji Kita (North) and Takoen-ji Minami (South).

What visitors say

Located within walking distance of Takoen-ji Station, the temple grounds are enveloped in tranquility once you pass through the gate. The approach path is well-maintained, offering beautiful scenery during the fresh green and autumn foliage seasons. The main hall features carvings of a phoenix and an amaterasu (celestial maiden), and the garden is meticulously kept. A small Inari shrine with a Sōryū Torii (Twin Dragon Torii gate) is also located within the grounds.
