Kitain (喜多院), located in Kawagoe, is a 9th-century temple renowned for its collection of 540 playful Rakan (statues of Buddha) and for being home to the only remaining buildings of the former Edo Castle.
History
Founded in 830 by monk Ennin, Kitain was originally part of a three-temple complex named Muryoju Temple, which included Kitain (North Temple), Nakain (Middle Temple), and Minamiin (South Temple). During the early-14th century, Kitain became the head temple of the Tendai Sect in the Kanto region. Later, in 1599, it became the main temple of Muryoju under the guidance of head monk Tenkai, who had strong relationships with the first three shogun of the Edo Period.
In 1638, after a fire destroyed most of Kitain, Shogun Iemitsu ordered several buildings from Edo Castle to be moved to the temple to help rebuild it. Although the fire was tragic, the castle buildings’ relocations likely saved them as Edo Castle was later heavily damaged by the Earthquake of 1923 and World War II.
Today
Today, Kitain’s preserved castle buildings and whimsical statues make it a must-see spot in Kawagoe. In spring, the temple is especially beautiful when cherry blossoms color the sacred area pastel pink. Other noteworthy spots are the temple’s pagoda and traditional gardens. Wander the tranquil grounds, and find the spots that speak to you. Listed below are Kitain’s top delights:
