Ishikawayama Zenjinji
æ京åºå°ç³å·ïŒäžç®ïŒïŒâïŒïŒ
A temple of the True School (Shinshu) Otani-ha sect located in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo. The 'Well of Paradise Water,' which reportedly sprang up when Shinran visited, is still preserved on the grounds.
History
The temple was founded in 969 CE as a Shingon Buddhist temple. During the Kamakura period, Shinran visited and, when he dug into the ground with his staff, water suddenly emerged. The abbot at the time, Kencho, witnessed this auspicious omen and converted the temple to the Jodo Shinshu sect. Shinran's spring remains today as the 'Well of Paradise Water.'

What visitors say
The temple grounds have been recently improved, with renovations made to the new cemetery area. There is a quiet Japanese-style room available for use as a dining area during memorial services. The New Year's Eve bell can be rung by visitors using coins, and its slow, resonant sound is a notable feature.
