Tomioka 1-15-1
Eitaiji 永代寺 is a friendly temple to the right on the way to the much larger Fukagawafudodo 深川不動堂 in the Monzen-Nakacho 門前仲町 area, 15 min walk South of Kiyosumi-Shirakawa. Eitaji, which can be translated as “eternal temple” was founded in 1624, as is still going strong! It traces its roots to the Koya-san 高野山 affiliation in Wakayama Prefecture -as the Chief Priest who is also strong in his 80’s explained to me.
Besides the Buddhist temples the Tomioka Hachiman Shinto Shrine is rather famous for the huge festivals that take place every some years, the next coming up in 2017.
