Virtual Adachi Bando 33 Kannon Pilgrimage (the South) #30 Shinjo-in Temple

 

     It is unknown when Shinjo-in Temple was founded in Ishigami Village, Adachi County, Musashi Province.  It was revived by Priest Son'yu (?-1628).

     Ina Tadaharu (1592-1653) first stopped the Aino River running.  It was a bypass of the Old Tone River.  In 1621, he finished digging a canal to make the Old Tone River flow into the Watarase River, and started separating the Kinu and Kobai Rivers.  In 1626, he built his residence in Akayama, Adachi County, Musashi Province, to prepare for the works to make the Ara River flow into the Iruma River.  When he built the residence, he gathered the dotted farmers to form Ishigami Village.  Shinjo-in Temple could have been revived on that occasion.
