Genchoji Temple

足立区千住仲町4−1

4.0(67)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) Buddhist temple located in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. Its mountain name (yama-go) is Inariyama, and its court name (in-go) is Shourin-in.

History

Founded in 1610 CE (Keicho 15) by Ina Tatsuji, this is a Jodo-shu temple. The temple name derives from Tatsuji's posthumous name, 'Shourin-in-den Zenbi-chon Taishu Shu-e Gencho Dai Koji.' However, Ishide Yoshitane, the developer of Senju, is considered the de facto founder.

What visitors say

This Jodo-shu temple features a grand mountain gate (sanmon) housing a pair of Guardian Kings (Nio) statues. Within the grounds stands an Inari Shrine, believed to have been enshrined here even before the temple was established. Goshuin (temple seal stamps) can be obtained by writing directly in the register. For a smooth visit, it is recommended to check the main hall's admission status in advance.
