Chomeiji Temple
〒131-0033 東京都墨田区向島５丁目４−４
A Tendai sect temple located in Koto Ward, Tokyo, enshrining Benten (the goddess of wisdom and arts), one of the Sumida River Seven Lucky Gods. It is also known as the birthplace of Kanto-style sakura mochi (cherry blossom rice cakes).
History
It is said to have been founded in the Heian period by the monk Ennin, or alternatively during the Keicho era. The temple was renamed Chomeiji (Longevity Temple) after Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Edo shogunate, recovered from an illness here while on a falconry excursion.
