〒162-0825 東京都新宿区神楽坂6丁目2

A Tendai sect temple known by the common name Kagurazaka Shenten. It is also designated as the 16th site on the Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage circuit.

History

According to tradition, the temple was founded in the early Heian period by the Great Master Jikaku Daishi Ennin. It was relocated in 1591 due to the expansion works on Edo Castle by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and moved to its current location in 1683.

What visitors say

A modestly sized temple located within walking distance of Kagurazaka Station. The grounds enshrine the Zeniarai Benten (a deity associated with washing coins for good fortune), a large statue of Yakushi Nyorai (the Medicine Buddha), and the Eleven-Faced Kannon. The Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) offered here feature highly intricate designs. Handmade embroidered omamori (protective amulets) are also popular, and visitors can pay respects to the large Buddha statue and the main deity during their visit.
