The official name of Shibamata Taishakuten is “Kyoeizan Daikyo-ji.” It is a temple of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, and as it was built in 1629 it has quite the long history. The temple features ita-honzon carvings of Taishakuten, said to have been carved by a high priest of the Nichiren sect. Taishakuten is one of the guardian deities of Buddhism.
Within the temple grounds are a “Carvings Gallery,” which features carvings related to the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, as well as “Suikei-en Garden,” a stunning Japanese garden. The area was used as the setting for the film “The Otoko wa tsurai yo (It’s Tough Being a Man),” and it also made appearances in the manga series “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo.”
The road approaching the temple from Shibamata Station is an old-timey shopping street, and it’s packed with shoppers every day.

Highlights

  • The “Carvings Gallery” is a must-see, with its elaborate carvings depicting the life and sutras of Buddha.
  • Enjoy the four seasons in the Japanese garden “Suikei-en Garden”.
  • There is a temple festival held once every 60 days, during which visitors can enter Taishaku-do and pray in front of the temple’s principal item of worship.
  • The shopping street along the path leading to the temple is lively and packed with shops selling things like dango and rice crackers.

    烏龍派出所的舞台😊
    從柴又車站出來就是老街,走著走著就到了。
    途中都是寅次郎的照片.
    充滿懷舊感覺.
    提醒各位一定要參拜之後再吃東西噢~

    題經寺屬於日連宗寺院,很多人來這裡祈福求平安,寺廟建築風格很有特色,非常精美值得參觀。

    前兩天路過柴又順便去參拜一下,人好少好冷清...
    祈願新冠趕快過去,老街回到以前熱熱鬧鬧的樣子🙏

    很有歷史古老的寺廟,寺廟樑上的雕刻值得一看,因為平日的關係所以人不多也沒有外國觀光客,和淺草寺相比這裡的感覺使人更舒服

    今天又去自己喜欢的东京老街柴又玩,度过了非常兴奋又充实的一天。在柴又帝释天题经寺看了雕刻画廊,还有寺内的日本庭园「邃溪园」。柴又帝释天参道两旁的各种老店铺也让人逛不够。要想感受一下老东京的庶民生活这里非常值得推荐哦。
