History

Byakko

This temple is a Shingon sect temple widely known as Kawasaki Daishi, counted as one of the three great Fudo-myoo temples in the Kanto region. The principal image is Kobo Daishi Kukai, and it is nationally famous as the 'Odaishi-sama' for exorcism. It is particularly bustling with many visitors on the first Daishi festival day. The precincts are spacious and have a solemn atmosphere, housing many national treasures and important cultural properties. Many people visit throughout the year seeking benefits such as exorcism, family safety, and recovery from illness.

御朱印所は境内に5ヶ所あり、大本堂・不動堂・薬師殿など計8種類が授与されます。薬師殿は境内奥にあるため、見落として帰るケースが多いです。

仲見世通りは参拝時に一方通行の流れができており、気になった店を後から探して逆戻りできません。参道を進みながら先に目当ての店を確認しておくと安心です。

境内の経蔵そばに「奇跡のイチョウ」と呼ばれる古木があります。太平洋戦争の空襲で幹の大半を焼失しながら復活した霊木です。
