Tokuhoji Temple
Shrines and Temples
Tokuhoji is a memorial temple of the Numata family, the lords of Kumagawa Castle, and originally belonged to the Tendai school of Buddhism. Rennyo (1415–1499), the leader of the Jodo Shinshu (True Pure Land) school, spent some time in Tokuhoji in 1475, and the temple was later converted to Jodo Shinshu and now belongs to its Hongwanji branch. On the grounds are a bronze statue of Rennyo, the Numata family stone pagoda, and the site of a pine tree where Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543–1616), the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate, is said to have rested.
