History
This is a venerable temple associated with Yutenshomin, a renowned Buddhist priest of the Edo period. Yutenshomin was known as a distinguished priest of the Jodo sect, particularly celebrated for his spiritual power in pacifying vengeful spirits. The legend of how he brought salvation to the vengeful spirit of Kasane no Fuchi continues to be passed down to this day. This temple stands quietly in a peaceful residential area of Nakameguro, offering respite from the bustle of the city. The compassionate teachings of Yutenshomin continue to be upheld in modern times, making this temple a sacred place for those seeking peace of mind. Within the tranquil atmosphere of the temple grounds, visitors can find healing from their daily fatigue and begin anew with renewed spirit.

Tips
最寄り駅は東急東横線「祐天寺」駅ですが、境内まで徒歩8〜10分かかります。駅名から近いと思われがちなので時間に余裕を持って向かってください。
御朱印は本堂向かって右手の寺務所で受け付けています。「累塚(かさねづか)」の御朱印も授与されており、江戸怪談「累ヶ淵」の怨霊を祐天上人が成仏させたという伝説に由来します。
境内に参拝者用駐車場がありますが台数が少なく、周辺のコインパーキングも把握しておくと安心です。
Visit Notes
御堂が免震でした。 建物の周りの石に乗ったり、隙間に足を入れたりするのは禁止です。
