Yōunji Temple - Shinjuku City

There is a shrine that worships Oiwa across the road, and this is a temple that worships Oiwa. It's a small but well-maintained precinct, and it's quite tasteful.

I visited the guest house, Hattori Hanzo, and headed for the stage of the classic Yotsuya Kaidan, but at the end of the turn where the old land split remained, I burned my hands on the slope, and by the time I got there, I was sick. There is a stylish cafe in the small precincts, and the image of ghost stories is dispelled. It is a temple that is a mixture of Japanese and Western gods and Buddha. It would be the fate of a temple living in the city.

A temple related to Oiwa-san, known for Yotsuya Kaidan. Although it is a temple, it is made by Shinbutsu Shugo, and votive tablets (matchmaking or matchmaking prayers) and amulets are also sold. The inside of the temple also makes you feel like a Japanese garden, creating an atmosphere of a Japanese famous place that foreigners may like, and I feel that it is not a bad meaning but a business person.

This is Younji Temple, a Nichiren sect temple whose head temple is Minobuyama Kuonji Temple in Yamanashi Prefecture. There is a nobori of "Oiwa Reido". The flat frame of the gate is "Oiwa Reido". It is a temple with various benefits such as good luck, marriage, and fulfillment of wishes. It seems that he also feeds Mizuko. The image of Mitamizu is blurred and difficult to see, but it says, "It is said that Ryujin-sama's Tesui Oiwa-sama also used it." In the well in the precincts It says, "Oiwa-sama's well, which is still used as spirit water," so it's the same water source as here. Currently, there is an electric well pump on the far right of this well, and you can hear the sound of pumping, but since the cover is black, you can't see it in the dark (laughs). According to the tag of origin, the Oiwa Reido, which is famous for the Kabuki "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" in the Edo period, was under the magnolia magnolia tree in the precincts of Younji Temple. After that, it was rebuilt in the 7th year of the Horeki calendar due to the war damage. By the way, the graveyard of Oiwa-sama is currently located at Myokoji Temple in Sugamo, Hokke-shu Jinmon-ryu Temple. It is said that the statue of Oiwa-sama is enshrined in the temple. It's a temple, so it's a courtesy of Gassho. In the precincts, there are also 2 shrines for Inari, a water bowl for watering Fukuju Bodhisattva, a water bowl for fulfilling the wishes, a matchmaking Daikoku, and a cafe. It is Inari shrine 2 shrine. Inari Shrine is a shrine, but it says "Gassho Ichirei" and how to visit it. Well, it's inside the temple, so w The prayer for happiness, "Mizukake Fukuju Bodhisattva," was flooded with spiritual water from the water bowl. The water bowl of "Kokoro Fulfillment" to put the Kanotama was not a water-boiled type, but only stored. Kanotama can be purchased at the side of the main shrine. It was a pity that the cafe "Udoma Shokudo" couldn't be used because it was closed at the last minute of 17:00.
