Uoranji (Uoranji Temple)

港区三田4丁目8−34

3.9(97)

A temple located on the mid-slope of Uoran-zaka, serving as the 25th station of the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon Pilgrimage. The principal image is Uoran Kannon (the Kannon of the Fish Basket), based on the legend that during the Tang Dynasty, the Buddha appeared in the form of a beautiful young woman who spread the Dharma while selling fish.

History

The temple's predecessor was Uoran-in, a sub-temple established by the monk Shouei at En'ouji in Chikuzen Province (now Chikuzen, Oita Prefecture) around the 3rd year of the Genwa era (1617 CE). The temple's founding began in the 1st year of the Jōō era (1652 CE) when Shouei built a Kannon hall on the current site and moved the principal image here.
