Saigyoji Temple

八王子市宮下町144

A Nichiren sect temple located in Hachioji City, Tokyo. It has a history of receiving land grants after Tokugawa Hidetada ordered prayers for Princess Chiko, which were effective in treating her illness.

History

The temple's origins trace back to Nichiren priest Nisho of Sen'no-in establishing a dojo in Ike-no-Hashi. Tokugawa Hidetada ordered prayers for Princess Chiko's illness, and the land was granted as a reward for their effectiveness. The temple was named Tenshozan after Princess Chiko's posthumous name and established as the founding site. It collapsed during the Ansei earthquake and the Great Kanto Earthquake. In 1964, it was relocated to Hachioji because the original site was used for the construction of Route 7.
