Virtual Western Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #9 Sugon-ji

     Sugon-ji Temple belongs to Pure Land Buddhism.  It is unknown when it was founded.  It used to be located in Azabu-Mikawadai-machi.  Its precincts had a Yama hall, whose foundation was said to be much older than the temple itself.

     Sugon-ji Temple and the Yama statue were reduced to ashes in World War II, its site was changed to graveyard, and the temple moved to its present place, relying on Kosen-ji Temple, the #10 member temple of the Western Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.  New Sugon-ji Temple was registered with Tokyo Prefecture in September, 1952.
