Kichijō-in, Buddhist temple in Motoki-Nishimachi, Tokyo, Japan

Kichijō-in is a Shingon-shu Buzan-ha temple in Motoki-Nishimachi, Adachi, Tokyo, founded in 1288 by Enshin. Its mountain name is Fuchie-san and its temple name Seikoku-ji; the main image is a Kongōkai Dainichi Nyorai. The main gate carries a plaque reading "Fuchie-san" brushed by Rihō, eleventh daughter of Emperor Go-Sai, and because of that plaque visitors have long entered by the side gate rather than the main gate.

Founded in 1288 by Enshin under the name Fuchie-san Kichijō-in Seikoku-ji, the temple trained in the Hossō doctrine of Hase-dera and received its dharma lineage from Ninna-ji in Kyoto. It once oversaw 33 branch temples as a chūhonji. In 1592 Ishide Kamon-no-suke's family moved from Tōtōmi to Motoki village because his brother, the priest Kakugen, led Kichijō-in. Under the Tokugawa shoguns it served as a rest stop on falconry outings and was granted the triple-hollyhock crest and vermilion-seal lands.

The temple's name is written on a plaque above the gate, inscribed by Princess Rihō, eleventh daughter of Emperor Go-Sai, and bearing the seal of her Buddhist name Tokugon. From the Edo period to the Taishō era the plaque hung on the main gate, which people avoided passing beneath out of reverence, so the side gate has remained the usual entrance.

Kichijō-in is about 12 minutes on foot from Ōgi-Ōhashi Station on the Nippori-Toneri Liner. Since the Edo period the main approach has been the side gate rather than the mountain gate, where the inscribed plaque once hung; visitors still enter that way.

The temple keeps a palanquin bearing the three-leaf hollyhock crest, used when its abbot rode to Edo Castle for the New Year greeting to the shogun. A plaque reading "Fuchie-san" in the hand of Princess Rihō, eleventh daughter of Emperor Go-Sai, hangs inside, and its "Tokugon" seal is stamped on it.
