大雲寺

Zenyoji Temple stands on spacious grounds with a main hall, stone shrines, and a Niomon Gate guarded by protective statues at the entrance.

Founded in 1620 by Master Bonyo of Tenren-sha, the temple relocated multiple times due to fires and earthquakes before settling at its current location in 1931.

The temple grounds contain numerous graves of Kabuki actors from the Edo and Meiji periods, earning it the nickname 'Actor's Temple'.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 15-minute walk from Edogawa Station or using the Keisei bus line to Mizue Saijo stop.

The temple features Japan's largest pine tree, Yogo no Matsu, which spans 30 meters and has received recognition as a National Natural Property.
