\n Suzugamori Penitentiary was established in 1651 and abolished in 1871. The Suzugamori Penitentiary was located along the southern entrance to Edo, while the Kozukahara Penitentiary was located at the northern entrance. There are various theories as to the number of people executed. Today, the crucifixion stand used for executions and the head-washing well as well as the huge “Daimoku Kuyo-to” (memorial tower), which is over 3 meters high, remain on the grounds of Daikyo-ji Temple. Familiar characters from Kabuki and period dramas such as Oshichi Yaoya, Hirai (Shirai) Gonpachi, and Tenichibo all met their deaths here. In 2022, the Daikyoji Temple underwent a major renovation, and with the opening of its website and the redevelopment of the temple grounds, the temple has evolved into a place of spiritual renewal.<\/p>\n
