Kakuo-ji Temple

勝浦市出水1297

4.0(65)

A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple located in Katsuura City, Chiba Prefecture. It is known as the family temple (bodaiji) of Uemura Yasutada, the founder of the Katsuura Morning Market.

History

Founded during the Keicho era (1596-1615) as a family temple by Uemura Yasutada, a retainer of Tokugawa Ieyasu who became the lord of Katsuura. In the time of the third generation, Yasuasa, the temple was moved to its current location and renamed from Jorin-ji to Kakuo-ji, after the childhood name of the founder's father. The temple declined following the abolition of the domain in 1751 but was revived by Kaiyo Dai-nin, who took office in 1907.

Known as one of the venues for the Katsuura Big Hina Festival, the area in front of the main gate features a large display stand with approximately 600 doll figures. The temple grounds have a calm atmosphere, and the Bell-Ringing Hall, which features impressive carvings, is a highlight. The nearby morning market allows visitors to enjoy both sightseeing and the lively atmosphere of the festival simultaneously.
