Virtual Western Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #4 Chokyu-ji Temple

 

     Chokyu-in Temple was next door to Shinpuku-ji Temple.  Tradition says Shinpuku-ji Temple was revived by Priest Shokai in1605, given 45300 square meters of land by the Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616).  An old map shows 9 temples including Chokyu-in and Shinpuku-ji next to each other at the foot of Atago Hill.  Presumably they were moved from somewhere else due to the city planning of Ieyasu.

     A list of the Western Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage says that its name isn’t Chkyu-in but Chokyu-ji.  Any way, it is located in the precincts of Shinpuku-ji Temple today.
