Tendai Sect, Toei-san, Kan'ei-ji, Gokoku-in
台東区上野公園１０−１８
This is the head temple of the Tendai sect in the Kanto region and is known as the memorial temple for the Tokugawa shogunal family.
History
Founded in 1625 CE (Kan'ei 2) by the third shogun of the Edo period, Tokugawa Iemitsu, with Tenkai as the founding monk. It flourished as a prayer hall and memorial temple for the Tokugawa shogunal family, with the head priest (kanushi) historically held by a prince or a member of the imperial family until the end of the Edo period. While it held immense power in the early modern era, its main buildings were destroyed by fire during the turmoil of the late Edo period.
