Daytime Jizo

Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Kanjiro Iijima in Nagatani Village.
I always suffered from a disease called "antrum" of a chronic illness. The tantrum is the current stomach convulsions that cause pain in which the stomach is twisted by something.
One day, when I was rolling around with a painful pain as usual, a traveling monk who happened to pass by said, `` If you worship Hiji Jizo at a temple called Renkeiji Temple in Mishima, Izu, the pain of a tantrum will heal quickly. "
I was taught.
Immediately, Kanjiro went on a trip and visited a distant Izu temple.
When I prayed hard and prayed, the pain of my tantrum was gone. So Kanjiro asked Renkeiji Temple, received alter ego, and took it home to Nagatani Village with great care.
In July 1866, a temple was built on the west border of the current Konan Ward, bordering Maiokacho, Totsuka Ward.
There was a series of mountain waves on the border of the Buso border, and the villages were separated, and there was a spiritual place.
In 1928, descendants of Kan Jiro repaired and expanded the temple, making it Koyasan Shingon sect, Yagiyama, and Fukutokuin.
This Jizo-son is said to be one of the "Japan's Three Body Jizo" along with the alter ego surrounded by Nagano and Yamanashi, and is a stone Buddha about 80 cm in height.
It is said that the day with "four" every month is a fair, and if you make a wish on this day, it will always come true.
On the day when the "four" was marked, in the mountains where the transportation was poor, from the gentle city of Isezakicho, and from the distant Yokosuka area, and from the distance to Yokosuka.
The villagers were looking forward to seeing them in a day, the villagers were looking forward to seeing them from the trees and behind the bush.
Even today, worshipers come from all over the prefecture, and shops are lined up, showing the same liveliness as before.
