Shinokachimachi Byosho Kanmyo Temple - 台東区 Taito City

My family will close the curtain at the end of me. Until now, there was a tomb at a Zen temple in Okutama, but even if there is a permanent memorial tomb, it costs 700,000 yen per pillar. Seven people are sleeping in the grave, and eight people including me who are still alive ✖️ 700,000 yen for 5.6 million yen ❗ There is no doubt that it will be close to 7 million yen due to the vacant lot of the grave and the cost of Buddhist affairs. It's not a very payable face value ❗ I would like to say to those who are considering closing the grave, but it seems that the face value is decided by the priest's way of thinking, not the problem that it is expensive because it is in the city center and cheap in the countryside. Also, it seems that the way of thinking is different depending on the sect, and recently the number of temples holding permanent memorial tombs is increasing due to the declining birthrate and aging population, but the Rinzai sect seems to be a little behind other denominations. I searched around, but it was a temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji school (Kyoto people say that the main mountain is Nishi Honganji, so it's "Onishi-san" ?) in Motoasakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo. It is our temple that we finally found a temple with a typical face value. There are 8 people in my house including me! Only four people can enter the ossuary room. If you are in trouble, the chief priest said, "How about burying the two uncles in the grave of the deceased grandparents? The price is XX yen." The price of the ossuary was cheap, and the grave was almost free! With this, I was happy that my "end of life was over ❗". I would like to recommend this temple, but there is only one point I would like you to make a firm judgment on. ❗ However, this is a convenient place in Motoasakusa, Taito-ku, but it's not a general outdoor graveyard, but an indoor graveyard ❗ I heard that many people feel resistance. When I first visited, I felt strange, "Is this the exhibition hall for graves?" Also, since it is indoors, you cannot water the grave. Instead, the priest or gravestone shop wipes the gravestones ❗ Although it is a small temple, it is convenient to walk to Shin-Okachimachi Station on the Oedo Line and Tsukuba Express and Inaricho on the Ginza Line, each within a 5-minute walk. But let's think about things ❗ Indoor graveyards have great advantages over outdoor ❗ Best of all, you don't have to worry about the weather. It's difficult to visit the grave outdoors when it's raining, snowing or extremely hot, but it doesn't matter because it's an indoor graveyard. It also has air conditioning ❗ There are ventilation fans here and there for the smoke of incense sticks, and the smoke of incense sticks does not get in. In Japan, we are a people who value "purifying the dirt", so I think we are reluctant to even clean the graves by ourselves, but on the contrary, because it is an indoor graveyard, we care about the weather when visiting the graves. You can walk from Okachimachi and Ueno in Taito Ward in the center of the city without having to do it ❗ The face value is also much cheaper than other temples and graveyards. Details will be detected on your smartphone. As an aside, I hear that many temples are worried about the successors of the temples. The son of this temple is a student at Ryutani University in Kyoto. You don't have to worry about the future, as it will be inherited in the future. For those who are thinking about closing the grave, I recommend it if the sect is the Jodo Shinshu Honganji sect of Shinran Shonin ❗
