Jigen-in

Jigen-in temple features traditional wooden architecture with detailed carvings and maintains a garden space that changes with each season throughout the year.

Hōjō Shigetoki, a prominent samurai leader from the Kamakura period who lived from 1198 to 1261, established this temple during his influential career.

The temple functions as a key location on two spiritual paths: the Kanto Eighty-Eight Temples pilgrimage and the New Joshu Kannon Pilgrimage circuit.

Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Takasaki Station, with operating hours extending from early morning until late afternoon.

The temple holds manuscripts and documents from its founder, Hōjō Shigetoki, who shaped samurai philosophy through his written works and leadership practices.
