3.8(80)

A Tendaishu (Tiantai) Buddhist temple located in Fuchu City, Tokyo. Its mountain name is Eikozan (Mountain of Wisdom) and its courtyard name is Butsujo-in. The principal image is the secret Buddha of the Amitabha Threefold Deity.

History

According to tradition, it was founded in 859 CE by the monk Ennin. It was later revived in 1296 CE by the monk Sohai under imperial decree. Until the early Meiji period, the temple also functioned as a terakoya (temple school). During the Edo period, it received a shuin (imperial seal) and a land exemption from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1883, it became a direct subordinate temple of Enryakuji on Mount Hiei.

What visitors say

Located very close to Tokyo Racecourse, this quiet temple offers views of the racecourse stands from its grounds. The grounds also feature a small shrine, and Goshuin (shrine or temple calligraphic seals) are available at a building deep within the grounds, past the main gate. A Lawson convenience store is nearby, and car access is possible; however, note that the parking area is sometimes used as a racecourse parking lot during race days.
