Jorenji Temple
板橋区赤塚５丁目２８−３
A temple serving as a special head temple of the Jodo sect, known for housing the 'Tokyo Daibutsu' (Great Buddha of Tokyo), which is the fourth largest in Japan.
History
Founded during the Oei period (1394–1427 CE) by the monk Ryoken Muteki in Yamanaka Village to teach the people. In the early Edo period, it relocated to Nakayado and became a prestigious temple, receiving land grants from Tokugawa Ieyasu. In 1973, it moved to its current location in Akatsuka (the site of the second enclosure of Akatsuka Castle).

Visitors can view numerous Buddhist statues, including the Tokyo Daibutsu, the statue of Yamao (King Yama), and the Ten-O (Ten Kings of Hell). The temple grounds have a quiet atmosphere, with the hand-washing pavilion and the impressive Yama-do (Hall of Yama) being notable sights. In autumn, the ginkgo trees on the entrance stairs are beautiful and ideal for photography.
