46.Sanjizo of Fujidana (near 3-290, Nishitobe-cho)
The main god of the festival of Fujidana, a summer tradition, is Higiri Jizo-son. Ganjoji Temple (Ganjoji) There is a temple under the mountain gate, but according to the luck of the temple, it has been handed down since the Tokugawa period. By the way, did you know that two more Jizo-san are enshrined in this temple?
One of them is Jizo, a horizontal pillow that has long been at the intersection of Fujidana. Another name, Kitamu Jizo, was greeted by this hall in order to see him standing on the burnt ruins of the Great Kanto Earthquake. The other is Iwagame Yokocho, which was also burnt out, and three are enshrined in total.
I don't know if the three bodies are aligned, the benefits will be tripled, but not only the elderly but also young girls often see their hands together and turn their incense.
