[Tokyo/Choukokuji Temple] The temple where the Asakusa Tori-no-ichi festival originated

When you think of the temple of the rooster, you think of Chokoku-ji Temple in Asakusa. It was founded by the monk Nichiken in 1630. It was moved to its current location in 1669. Since its founding, the temple has held an exhibition of the Great Bodhisattva Jumyōken, the guardian deity of the head temple Jusan-ji, which is associated with Nichiken, on the day of the rooster in November, and this is where many people came to pay their respects, which is the origin of the Tori-no-ichi festival. Even today, on the day of the rooster in November, there are rows of stalls selling lucky rakes. It is a period in which you can fully experience the festival atmosphere just by looking at them. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥTemple/Shrine Name: Chokokuji Temple, Hokke Sect ꕥAddress: 3-19-6 Senzoku, Taito-ku, Tokyo ꕥAccess 🚉About 12 minutes walk from Iriya Station ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Tori no Ichi #Asakusa #Shrines and Temples #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing
