Ganzeiji Jizō Son (Nichigen Jizō and others)

横浜市西区中央2丁目2−23

A temple of the Kōyasan Shingon sect located in Nishi-ku, Yokohama. The principal image, Enmei Jizō Son (Longevity Jizō), is a hidden Buddha (hifutsu), while Nichigen Jizō Son (Daily Limit Jizō) is enshrined in front of the gate.

History

The founding era is Tenyū. According to temple tradition, in the 8th century, the monk Gyōki passed through this area and was searching for water. A turtle crawled out, and when he dug beside the road, clear water sprang forth. He named the place Hōkizan (Dharma Turtle Mountain) and built a thatched hut, marking the temple's origin. Until the Meiji era, it served as the bettō-ji (head temple) of Sugayama Shrine. After the opening of Yokohama Port, it also became the residence of the Kanagawa Bugyō (magistrate).
