Jodo Sect Nanmeizan Zennkoji Temple
港区北青山３丁目５−１７
This is a Jodo Sect temple, and the main object of worship is the Ikkou Sanzon Amida Nyorai (Three-Body Amida Buddha with a single halo). It features a ritual called Kaidan-meguri, where visitors walk in complete darkness beneath the altar and touch a key, similar to the practice at Shinshu Zennkoji Temple.
History
The temple was founded in 1601 by Zennkoji's 19th generation abbot, Daizen-sha Konyo Inyo Chikei. Initially located in Yanaka, it was destroyed by fire and relocated to its current site in 1705, where Shin'yo Chizen established it as a new foundation. The temple burned down completely at the end of the Edo period and was rebuilt in 1920, but was again destroyed by war damage. The main hall, storage building, and study were reconstructed in 1974.
