    It is a venerable temple with beautiful bamboo groves and 100 views of Setagaya

    Original Text

    It is located between Kamimachi Station and Miyanosaka Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line. From Kamimachi to the track, walk 5 and you will find a stone pillar of the old temple name, about 100m and there is a temple ahead. This is probably the approach, but now both sides are residential areas. The photo at the entrance of this approach is not due to the failure of shooting. When you arrive at the entrance of the temple precincts, there is also a stone pillar of the temple name, and it is about 50m to the main hall. It is said that this temple was built by Mr. Kira, the Lord of Setagaya Castle, and it is a historic temple with a clan grave in the grave on the left side of the entrance to the precincts. ...

    Qing 々 envy like Zen temple

    Original Text

    It is the family temple of Mr. Kira, the Lord of Setagaya. It seems that it was originally restored as a temple of the Rinzai sect and later the Soto sect. It was a temple where you can feel the crisp air by abolishing useless decoration. The bell tower behind the bamboo grove was beautiful.

    Temples and shrines full of quiet atmosphere

    Original Text

    The family temple of Mr. Kira, the lord of Setagaya. It is near the castle ruins park where Setagaya Castle used to be. First of all, the bamboo forest on the right side of the mountain gate is eye-catching. Along with the bamboo fence, the precincts were full of quiet atmosphere. The maintenance of the tree 々 was also very well done.

    Bamboo Forest が See you

    Original Text

    Since there is a grave of my grandparents, I have been visiting graves since I was a child. It is better to have a car, but it is within walking distance from Miyanosaka Station or Kamimachi Station on the Setagaya Line. There used to be few parking lots, but now a considerable number of cars can be stopped. It's not like a tourist spot. There is a tomb of the Kira family. It is a quiet temple with a magnificent bamboo grove. The bamboo fence and bamboo forest are designated as the 100 Views of Setagaya. It is always well cleaned and feels good. Bonsho is also famous.
