Well of Yanagi

Along the approach to zenpuku Ji Temple

Original Text

A well standing on the right side of the approach to Azabu Zenpukuji, one of the oldest temples in Tokyo. It is said that a small amount of water is still flowing out of the well when Kobo Daishi (Kukai) of the Kaisan of Zenpukuji raised a tin cane under the willow. It is a spot that you may overlook.

Well related to Kobo Daishi

I found it when I visited Zenpukuji Temple and its temple Chuji Temple (tower) in June. It was in front of Zentsuji Temple on the approach to Zenpukuji Temple, about a 5-minute walk from Azabujuban Station on the Oedo Line. This well is a well related to Kobo Daishi, who is said to have blown out when Kobo Daishi prayed to the God of Kashima and struck a cane. There was also an explanation. If you are interested, why not look for it?

When you enter the approach to Zenpukuji Temple from Azabu Juban's "Zoshiki-dori", you will see "Yanagi no Ido" on your right. There are wonderful willows so you can easily see them. It was a happy miscalculation that such a splendid branch was in January early 々.

It is located at the entrance of Kinzoji Temple, beside the approach to Zenpukuji Temple. It is at the root of a wonderful willow tree that looks like a blue 々 leaves are flowing down. The legend of Kobo Daishi is said to have been that water sprang out from the place where Kobo Daishi pierced his cane. Although it is a little, water is springing out.

There's less water.

Stones were assembled and water was slowly accumulated on the ground inside. A little algae was floating. Somehow, I thought it was like a baptismal place I saw at European ruins.
