Gohonzan Tenryu-ji
〒160-0022 東京都新宿区新宿４丁目３−１９
A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Shinjuku, Shinjuku Ward, with the mountain name Gohonzan. It houses cultural properties such as the 'Tokei no Kane' (Clock Bell), considered one of the Three Famous Bells of Edo, and the 'Yagura Tokei' (Watchtower Clock).
History
Originally founded as Hosen-ji in Tōtōmi Province, it was relocated to the current area near Uguisudani and renamed Tenryu-ji when Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo. After being destroyed by the Tenka Fire, it was moved to its present location in 1683 CE (Tenka 3). It once served the role of protecting the back Kishin (demon gate) direction.

It is within walking distance of Shinjuku-sanchome Station, allowing visitors to worship away from the city's hustle and bustle.
