アイバのお不動さん Aiba no O-Fudo San
near the temple 東正寺 Tosho-Ji there is a well with clear water, now famous as the "water of Fudo" お不動さんの名水.
Once a statue of Fudo Myo-O had been found in the mountain nearby, so the villagers built this temple for it.
Now it is in a Fudo-In 不動院 hall, founded by 源為義従者 Minamoto no Tameyoshi in 1288.

The main Fudo statue is in the 不動堂 Fudo Hall.
. namikiri Fudo 波切不動尊 / 波切り不動 "Fudo cutting waves" .

The temple was founded by Kobo Daishi, who came here in 810 and carved three statues of himself.

- quote
Henjoin Temple
was built in the early Heian period by Kobo Daishi on his way to the Kanto region.
Before continuing on his way, he carved three sculptures of himself expressing the past, present, and future, from photinia wood.
One of these sculptures, "Mikaeri Kobo Daishi", is of the monk looking back, reluctant to part from someone.
It is still enshrined at Henjoin Temple as its principal object of worship. (The sculpture is normally not viewable by the public.
It is exhibited to the public on the 21st day of the third month of the lunar calendar.)
After praying in the main hall, try walking around the underground "kaidan", a sacred space where the monks take their vows. It is said that if you pray to Kobo Daishi in the darkness, you will be blessed. On the 21st of every month of the lunar calendar, the anniversary of the famed monk's death, stalls line up along the approach to the temple, and the grounds are crowded by worshippers.

中野区上高田1-27-3 / Tokyo, Nakano ward, Kami-Takada

The Kannon statue was carved by 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi.

Near the main gate is a stone statue of a monkey.
Legend tells us:
Once 徳門和尚 priest Tokumon wanted to board a river crossing boat, when a monkey came and held him back by his robes.
He could not board the boat, but then saw it sinking down.
Thanks to the monkey he had been saved.


The Zen priest Fusho 勅諡靈鑑普照禅師 founded the temple in the Chiyoda ward.
It was relocated to 牛込神楽坂 Ushigome Kagurazaka in 1613.
It became the clan temple under 戸田忠昌 Toda Tadamasa (1632 - 1699).
In 1909 it was relocated again to the present place.
It became Nr. 21 in the 通寺町 Kayoiteramachi and was a sub-temple of 妙心寺 Myoshin-Ji.

- quote
Miyake (三宅村, Miyake-mura)
is a village located in Miyake Subprefecture, Tokyo Metropolis.
Miyake Village covers the island of Miyakejima, in the Izu archipelago in the Philippine Sea and the nearby uninhabited Ōnohara Islands, 180 kilometres (110 mi) south of central Tokyo.
- - - - - History
It is uncertain when human settlement first began on Miyakejima, but the island was known to be inhabited since at least in the early Nara period, and is mentioned in historical records for its many volcanic eruptions.
The island was used as a penal colony during the Edo period.
After the start of the Meiji period, in 1878, the island came under the control of Tokyo-fu and was organized into five villages (Izu, Kamitsuki, Igaya, Ako and Tsubota) under Oshima subprefecture on October 1, 1923.
Miyake subprefecture was created out of Oshima subprefecture on April 1, 1943.
On August 31, 1945, during the Allies' occupation of Tokyo, ground gunners on Miyake-jima fired three shots at an American transport aircraft, with no casualties. These were to be amongst the last shots fired in the war.
The three villages of Izu, Kamitsuki and Igaya merged on October 1, 1946, to form the village of Miyake, which was joined by Abo and Tsubota on February 1, 1956. The village was evacuated in the year 2000 due to volcanic eruptions, and the inhabitants were only allowed to return from 2005.

The horn of this horse is still in the home of the family.
