Tanjō-ji, Buddhist nunnery in Mitsumune-cho, Japan
Located on the former estate of Minister Fujiwara no Toyonari, Tanjo-ji Temple maintains traditional Buddhist architecture with stone monuments and religious structures.
The temple occupies the birthplace of Chujo-hime, daughter of Minister Toyonari, who created the sacred Taima Mandala at Taimadera Temple during the Nara period.
Tanjo-ji stands as the 60th sacred location within the Northern Yamato Pilgrimage of 88 Temples, featuring the locally cherished Koshindo shrine on its grounds.
Visitors need to make advance reservations to enter the temple complex, and the facility provides three parking spaces for personal vehicles.
The temple houses a stone monument marking the exact spot where Chujo-hime, a central figure in many Bunraku and Noh performances, was born.
