Shibarare Jizō Son (Tied-up Jizo Statue)

葛飾区東水元2丁目28−25

4.4(176)

A Tendai sect temple famous for its Shibarare Jizo (Tied-up Jizo) statue. It is listed as the 97th site in the Kanto Hyakuhachi Jizo (108 Jizo Temples of Kanto) pilgrimage.

History

It is said to have been founded by the priest Gonsozu Rino Hoshi at a location traditionally associated with the residence of the poet Ariwara no Narihira. The temple relocated to Koto Ward in 1698 CE (Genroku 11) and gained fame as Shibarare Jizo. However, due to damage from the Great Kanto Earthquake, it moved to its current location at Shigokuji Temple.

What visitors say

The temple grounds are meticulously maintained, offering a serene atmosphere for worship. A unique practice allows visitors to tie a rope around the Jizo statue to make a wish, with ropes conveniently provided nearby. It is also ideal for a leisurely stroll as it is close to Mizuho Park. However, it can be crowded during peak periods such as Hatsumode (the first shrine visit of the New Year), so visitors should be mindful of parking availability in the surrounding area.
