The precincts were overgrown with trees, and I thought this was Setagaya.

As soon as you enter from the north gate, you can see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The Tahoto and the cherry blossoms in full bloom were beautiful. In addition to the cherry blossoms, the precincts are overgrown with trees, and I think this is Setagaya. From Komadome-dori, the north gate is from the narrow alley on the Matsuoka Elementary School side. The entire temple is surrounded by a wall. When you enter from the north gate of Komadome-dori, there is a magnificent wooden Tahoto Heisei ２４ built in front of you, and the main hall is on the left. From the Matsuoka elementary school side, there was a gate door at the main gate of the stone pillar, and it was a little open, so I put it in, but it is closed ...

Gotokuji Temple is also large, but Jissoin Temple is also a Daiji Temple in Setagaya. When you enter the precincts from a castle-like mountain gate, there is a little different world. The scenery that made me doubt my eyes, such as the Tahoto, surrounded by autumn leaves, spread.

The precincts are large and the green is very rich.

Kamimachi Station on the Setagaya Line is the nearest station. I found out for the first time when I went, but if I walk from the station, I will come out to the back of the precincts. I entered the precincts from the garden side next to it, not the front gate. It seems that it is constantly maintained, and the facilities and planting in the precincts have a neat impression. I visited this time during the cold season, but I thought that the precincts with abundant greenery would be like an oasis in a residential area from spring to summer.

There is a back gate (North Gate) on the Komadome-dori side.
