Muryouji Temple
北区西ケ原１丁目３４−８
A temple of the Shingon Hossu-ji school, Muryouji enshrines a statue of Fudomyo-o (the Immovable Wisdom King) as its principal deity. This statue is venerated as 'Ashidome Fudo' (the Immovable King who stops thieves) due to a local legend that it once thwarted the advance of bandits.
History
It is known that a temple existed on this site from the late Heian period, though the exact date of its founding is unknown. During the Edo period, the temple received a Shuinchi (a tax-exempt land grant) from the Tokugawa Shogunate. It is also famous for having been visited by Katsura Shoin, the mother of Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. The temple was originally named Chofukuji, but it was renamed Muryouji to avoid a name conflict with the childhood name of Shogun Tokugawa Ienari.
