Saikaiji Temple - Minato City

The temple was opened in the 1640s, more than 400 years ago. It is a monk who is said to be infinitely holy. The Buddha statue in the main hall is said to have carried things from the Heian period from Kyoto. A lord who happened to be practicing horseback riding in the upper mansion of the Owari Matsudaira family, who happened to be nearby, accidentally fell and died and held a temporary funeral at the nearby temple. .. Ieyasu Tokugawa, who knew this, gave this temple a territory of 1,200 tsubo, and at the same time, passed through a cypress-made Nembutsu-do on the back of the main hall and on the bank side, and the small Nembutsu-do remained until the end of 1945. .. The tomb of the Owari Matsudaira family, which was built around that time, did not pay the management fee for many years, so the large desolate tombstone was removed around 2015. In addition, the small main hall that has remained for many years is in danger of the cliffs on the hills collapsing little by little year by year, but after three years from around 1996, it became the new main hall of the current reinforcement, and it took 15 months for the foundation work on the cliff side. It becomes a sturdy building completed by hanging For the total construction cost, the former chief priest, Michikazu Kuya, who was in front of the current chief priest, threw everything away. Thanks to the fact that more than 5 meters of the old main hall have moved from the bottom, it is now possible to park in front of several cars of visitors. The current sturdy main hall was also completed by the hard work of the former chief priest, and the pillars of the old main hall were mostly covered by termites when they were dismantled. This place was left unburned where it was spared from the fire even in the great air raid on March 10, 1945. The name of the road in front of the temple is called Hijirizaka, which is taken from the name of the first chief priest, and is the remnant of the old road that was used as the Tokaido until around 1630. It is the last temple of the Jodo sect and is about to reach its 400th year.

It was first used as a residence of a French minister in the Edo period. There are quite a few temples around this area that were used as lodgings for European ministers.

There are buildings in front of you in the center of the city, but it is a quiet temple. Security is also solid, and a password is required when visiting the grave. On the same site, there is also the Kannon Hall and the ruins of the first French Legal Residence.

Since my wife is a Danka family, I am indebted to her for visiting graves. I am very grateful to the wife of the priest who always responds to me for taking care of me and giving me kind words. The premises such as the graveyard are always kept clean, and I feel very comfortable visiting the grave.
