Zenseiji Temple
善成寺The land of Nakano Momoen is a scenic peach village adjacent to the "enclosure" created by the "Ordinance of Mercy for Living Beings" of the fifth shogun Tsunayoshi in ancient times, and after the opening of Nakano Station on the Kobu Railway (now the Chuo Main Line), which opened in the 22nd year of the Meiji era, it developed as a commercial area where people came and went.
In the early Showa period, Sonobe Shoshu, who had a confectionery shop in a corner of a tenement house in this area, ran the Nakano Fudoko, which was said to have a capacity of 2,000 people at the time, and was active as a leading expert in the Fudo faith with a strong conviction. After that, in February of Showa 14, "Nakano Fudo Church" (the founder of Zenseiji) was established. During the war, the entire area was burned to the ground during the Tokyo air raid, but miraculously escaped being burned down, and the temple was officially built as "Nakano Fudo Zenseiji" in Showa 25. The statue of King Fudo Myō, whose eyes were opened by the 18th president of Naritasan Shinshoji Temple, Araki Daisho, is enshrined as the main shrine, and has been widely worshipped as a "prayer temple" that has been the foundation of the hearts of people living in the present day since the turmoil of the postwar period.
