Ogawa-ji Bell Tower

小平市小川町1丁目733

3.7(3)

A temple of the Rinzai-shu Yujo-ji sect located in Koganei City, Tokyo, with the mountain name Iyo-zan. It has a history of land reclamation by Ogawa Kurobei.

History

Founded in 1656 CE (Meireki 2) after obtaining permission to dig the Ogawa branch canal, driven by the ambition of Ogawa Kurobei to reclaim land. It was established with Yakushi Ruri-kō Nyorai (Medicine Buddha of Lapis Lazuli Light) as the principal image. The bell tower was built in 1763 CE (Borei 13). The temple grounds contain the grave of Ogawa Kurobei and a bronze bell designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Koganei City.
