Tōshō-ji

The temple grounds contain multiple structures including a bell tower, Yakushi Hall, Sogo Hall, inner sanctuary and treasure house along stone monuments.

The temple dates back to the era of Emperor Kanmu when General Sakanoue no Tamuramaro built it to honor soldiers who died during the pacification of Boso.

The temple enshrines Sogoro Kiuchi, a farmer who sacrificed his life by directly petitioning the shogunate to reduce heavy taxes during a famine period.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a 15-minute walk from Sogo-Reido Station on the Keisei Line or using the Narita community bus service.

The temple grounds feature over 1,000 oak leaf hydrangea plants, making it a notable destination during the June blooming season.
