Daigenji (Daigen-ji Temple)
文京区向丘１丁目１１−３
A temple of the Soto sect, known as the temple of Houroku Jizo. The main hall enshrines the Seven Kannon statues associated with Takamura Kotei and serves as a place of practice for the Ten Myou Sanze Ikkai Butsu (Ten Million Three-World All Buddhas).
History
Founded in 1597 CE (Keicho 2) in Kanda Yanagihara by the patron Ishikawa Katsumasa and the founding monk Kuyama Masao. It was relocated to its current location in 1649 CE (Keian 2). The Seven Kannon statues created by Takamura Kotei in the early Shōwa era were destroyed in war damage but were later restored by his disciples.

What visitors say
Upon passing through the mountain gate, visitors encounter the Houroku Jizo statue, named after the famous figure Yabu no Nana. The grounds feature graves of notable figures such as Takashima Shūhan, along with well-maintained garden trees and natural stones that create a relaxing atmosphere. It is also the 23rd station of the Edo Thirty-Three Kannon pilgrimage. A unique aspect of the worship ritual is that incense is provided when receiving the Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp).
