Saishoji Meikou Fudonzon (Meikou Fudo Myo-o Shrine)

江戸川区平井1丁目25−32

4.1(195)

History

Founded in 860 CE (Jogan 2) by Ennin (Daisai Jigaku) on the banks of the Sumida River, and formally established in 877 CE (Ganko 1) by the priest Ryohon. In the early modern period, it served as the Betto (administrative temple) for Ushijima Shrine. Following the separation of Shinto and Buddhism in the early Meiji era, the statue of Dainichi Nyorai (Mahavairocana) was transferred elsewhere. The temple relocated to its current site in 1913 CE (Taisho 2) due to urban planning and land subdivision.
