Narita-san Kawagoe Betsuin [Saitama]

【Narita-san Kawagoe Betsuin summary】

Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin (Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin Hon Gyoin) was built in 1853 (Kaei 6). Teruon Ishikawa, a Chiba resident who was cured of an eye disease by praying to Fudo Myoo, restored the Kubo-cho Hongyoin Temple, which had been closed, and enshrined the spirit of Fudo Myoo, which was given by Naritasan, and built it as the Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin. In other words, it is a branch temple of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and a Shingon esoteric Buddhism temple. Today, the temple is commonly known as Kawagoe Fudo, and a flea market (antique market) is held on the 28th of every month, which is very popular.

There was a large vajra object.

The vajra is a Buddhist implement symbolizing the esoteric Buddhist teachings that Kukai learned in the Tang Dynasty at that time. It is believed to be effective in smashing demons and calamities, defeating afflictions, driving away evil spirits, and bringing good luck.

There was a statue of Kobo Daishi (Kukai) next to the Daishi Hall.

It was a bit cold that day, so the turtles were sunning themselves in a sunny spot.

【Narita-san Kawagoe Betsuin Access】

Manager’s comment.

Compared to the nearby Kita-in Temple, there were fewer tourists and the atmosphere was quieter, so I was able to visit the temple calmly. On that day, by coincidence, we were able to see a monk from the head temple who had been dispatched to the temple to offer prayers. The staff at the gift shop for red seals, amulets, etc. was very kind and friendly. I have visited the head temple, Naritasan Shinsho-ji several times in the past, but I would like to visit again.
