Jōtoku-in

Jōtoku-in features a main hall housing an Amida Nyorai statue, which stands among traditional temple structures and gardens in Tokyo's residential district.

The temple was founded in 1603 under the patronage of Ieyasu Tokugawa, who appointed Denyo Ichia to lead prayers for Acha-no-Tsubone and Taieiin.

The Jizo-do Hall contains the Yotsugi Jizo, a statue that has drawn visitors seeking blessings for pregnancy and childbirth since the Edo period.

The temple maintains regular opening hours and conducts religious services throughout the year, with special ceremonies held during traditional Buddhist observances.

The temple's Amida Nyorai statue, crafted by sculptor Kaikei, was transferred from Muchizaki-jinja Shrine in Omi Province by Tokugawa Ieyasu himself.
