Saifukuji Temple

東金市東金1693

4.0(84)

A single-affiliation temple located in Togane City, Chiba Prefecture, commonly known as the 'Togane Kaiten Daikokuten' (Great Fortune God of Togane). Situated on the shores of Lake Yatsutsuru, the main hall features columns made from reclaimed timber from Sensoji Temple.

History

The exact date of founding is unknown, though one theory suggests it was established by Saicho, the founder of the Japanese Tendai sect. The temple was revived in 1479 CE (Bunmei 11) with the support of Sakai Sadayuki. During the Edo period, it maintained deep ties with the Tokugawa shogunate, including visits by Tokugawa Ieyasu and the receipt of a shogunal license. It became a single-affiliation temple in 1954 and is currently an independent temple affiliated with the Nichiren school.
