Kinjou-in

豊島区高田2丁目12−39

4.0(236)

A temple of the Shingon Tozan school, known for enshrining the Mejiro Fudō Son, one of the five colored Fudō statues of Edo.

History

The temple is said to have originated when the founding monk, Eijun, introduced the Kannon Bosatsu (Avalokiteshvara) and built a Kannon Hall. It is estimated to have been established before 1594 CE (Bunroku 3). Initially a branch temple of Hozon-ji, it later became a branch of Gokoku-ji. Until the end of the Edo period, it also served as the Betto (administrative head) of the nearby Kinohana Kaiya-hime Shrine. The main hall and other structures were destroyed by fire during World War II but were rebuilt in 1971.
