Genkyoji Temple

A modern temple

Original Text

It was a temple that I thought the building located in front of the gate was modern. There was a statue of Shinran Shonin in front of the building that seemed to be a residence.

It is a temple with a modern appearance facing Yasukuni-dori.

It is a temple with a modern appearance facing Yasukuni-dori. It's almost in the middle of Akebono Bridge from Shinjuku 3-chome, so office workers and work seem to be busy, but no one noticed this temple and it was very quiet.

There is a grave of Kiyoshi Atsumi.

Original Text

There is the tomb of Kiyoshi Atsumi, the main character of Tora-san. I have a strong image of Katsushika Shibamata, but I felt like I met Tora-san in Shinjuku.

there is a grave of kiyoshi atsumi.

It is located along Yasukuni-dori, about halfway between Shinjuku Sanchome Station and Akebonobashi Station. It seems that there is Kiyoshi Atsumi's grave, but I couldn't confirm it. The main hall is modern and not very tasteful. A statue of Shinran saint stands in the precincts. From Yotsuya to Shinjuku, there are many temples related to historical figures, so it would be a good idea to visit them together.

It's a temple facing Yasukuni Dori street.
