Anrakuju-in, Buddhist temple in Fushimi-ku, Japan

Anrakuju-in is a Shingon Buddhist temple in Takeda, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. Its precinct contains a 1959 Amida Hall, a Daishido built with timber from the pagoda destroyed in the 1596 earthquake, and a bell tower rebuilt in 1606 by Toyotomi Hideyori. The tomb of Emperor Toba lies to the west and Emperor Konoe's tomb, a rare pagoda-form imperial mausoleum, to the south.

The temple was founded in 1137 when Emperor Toba transformed his imperial villa into a religious center. Both Emperor Toba and Emperor Konoe chose this location as their final resting place, establishing it as a sacred site.

The temple's name first appears in records in 1143, six years after the chapel was founded. Its honzon, a seated wooden Amida Nyorai 87.6 cm tall, is carved in the Jōchō style and bears a swastika on its chest, earning it the name Manji Amida. The temple also holds silk paintings of Fugen Bosatsu and the Amida descent with twenty-five bodhisattvas.

Access to the temple is limited and visitors should arrange visits in advance through proper channels. The nearby Takeda station serves as a convenient starting point for reaching the site.

The Ashikaga estate, from which the shogun clan took its name, once belonged to Anrakuju-in, one of 63 estates the temple held in 32 provinces at its peak. These estates later became the economic base of the Daikakuji line of the imperial family.
