\n Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin is a branch temple of Kongobuji Temple, the head temple of the Koyasan Shingon Sect, which was founded in 1673 as “Koyasan Edo Zaibansho Koyadera” and renamed “Koyasan Tokyo Betsuin” in 1927. Since “Takanawa” was once written as “Takanawa,” it is also called “Takanawakizunaishi,” meaning “the Great Master of Takanawa,” because it connects people to Buddha and people to people, just as a rope connects things. In addition to being the first of the 88 temples in Gofunai, which is the Tokyo version of the pilgrimage, the temple also offers sutra copying, ajikan (currently on hiatus), and Buddhist painting classes, all of which can be completed without reservations.
