Virtual Fushimi 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #24 Taiju-in Temple

     Taiju-in Temple has become out of service sometime after 1870.  The temple used to be located in today’s Enoki-cho (literally Hackberry Town).  The town’s name comes from the big Chinese hackberry tree growing in Taiju-in Temple.  The temple was recorded being active as late as in 1870 as a branch temple of Chion-in Temple.  In the year, the imperial letter to make Shinto the state religion was issued.
