In the Edo period (1603-1867), the temple was very popular as a resting place for travelers with many teahouses because of its proximity to Itabashi, a post station on the Nakasendo (Highway of Mt. Nakayama). At that time, the Koshinto was also used as a guidepost. It is also depicted in an ukiyoe woodblock print by Hiroshige Utagawa, and there is a poem written by Issa Kobayashi who stopped by the teahouse. Although the pagoda itself does not exist today, there is now a kenshindo (a shrine for the dead), where the deity Sarutahiko, known as the god of the road and the god of travelers, is enshrined.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"js-way\"><span class=\"ja\"><span>Spot Outline<\/span><\/span><span class=\"en\">Outline<\/span><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>address (e.g. of house)<\/th>\n<td>\n4-35 Sugamo, Toshima-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Access<\/th>\n<td>\n1 min. from Toden Koshinzuka Station<\/p>\n<div class=\"elem-sec_01 mrg-style_21\"><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">phone<\/th>\n<td><a class=\"link-style_02\" href=\"tel:%E3%81%AA%E3%81%97\">nashi (Pyrus pyrifolia, esp. var. culta)<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">External Links<\/th>\n<td>\n<p><a class=\"link-style_03\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sugamokoushin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official Web Site<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">Founding and opening of business<\/th>\n<td>\n1502 (2nd year of the Bungei Era)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"historic siteIkebukuro\/Akabane Sugamo Koshinzuka (Sugamo, Tokyo)\uff08Sugamo Koushinzuka) post townIssa KobayashiHiroshige UtagawaSarutabiko The Koshinzuka of Sugamo is said to have been founded in 1502 when a Koshinzuka (a pagoda for the dead) measuring eight feet high was erected.
