Kannouji

Kokyusan Renkoin Kannouji Temple stands with a bell tower and main hall containing wooden statues of Buddhist deities including Shakamunibutsu and Taho Nyorai.

Founded in 1205 by Kunen as a Shingonshu temple, Kannouji transitioned to Nichirenshu Buddhism in 1288 under the guidance of Sanmi Nisshin.

The temple bell, cast in 1698 by master craftsman Masatsugu Fujiwara during the Genroku period, represents fine metalwork and holds registration as a craft asset.

Located near Toei Subway Shinjuku Line Ichinoe Station, the temple maintains accessibility from both Narita and Haneda International Airports through train connections.

The Fudekozuka monuments, dedicated to Kenshoin Nichize who established a writing school at Zerinbo branch temple, preserve educational heritage through stone inscriptions.
