Isshindencho

A Temple Town Around Senjuji
Isshindencho developed as a temple town around Senjuji, the head temple of the Shinshu Takada sect, and many historic streets still remain in Jinaicho. In the temple grounds you can see Mieido and Nyoraido, known as outstanding wooden buildings in Japan, which are both over twenty-five meters tall and were designated as the first national treasure buildings in Mie on November 28, 2017.

The main buildings, or garan of Senjuji were gradually erected during the reconstruction after the big fire in 1645. Receiving a donation of lands from the Tsu clan, they expanded their temple grounds drastically and their first building Mieido was completed in 1666, followed by Nyoraido completed in 1748. Mieido is highly regarded as a magnificent temple building which shows the development of Japanese temple construction. Nyoraido is also highly valued as one of the biggest modern Zen buildings in Japan built with a donation by the followers of the sect.
There are also many national important cultural properties in the precincts of the temple such as Saiho-shinansyo and Sanjo-wasan, which were written in Saint Shinran’s own hand.

Why don’t you take a walk around Senjuji to have a close look at the world-renowned historic buildings and enjoy Isshinden Jinaicho?
