Virtual Tama Aqueduct Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage #21 Zentoku-in Temple

 

     Somewhere in the Tokyo University of Agriculture along Nodai-dori Street, there used to be Zentoku-in Temple, which was abolished at the beginning of the Meiji Era (1868-1912).  The Gods and Buddhas Separation Order was issued in 1868.  The order caused great damage to Buddhism in Japan. The destruction of Buddhist property took place on a large scale all over the country.  The scrap wood of the temple was reused in the buildings of Sakura Elementary School.
