Daikeiji Kanshozo — Temple lodging in Fujieda-shuku

ABOUT TEMPLE HOTEL

About the temple lodging

Enmyozan Daikeiji (Nichiren sect) is a temple founded over 770 years ago, located in the heart of Fujieda-shuku, the 22nd post town on the old Tokaido road. In the spring of 1253, Nichiren Shonin stopped here on his way to study at Mt. Hiei. He taught a couple, Doen and Myoen, who ran a teahouse, and planted a pine tree as a memento. This tree is known as the "Kuon-no-Matsu" (Pine of Eternity).

During the Edo period, it became a prayer temple for Tanaka Castle and was known as "Samurai Temple." Kanshozo, a private temple lodging that opened in June 2026, offers views of this very pine tree.
