Was this small temple always here? Before you stands the Koka-bashi Mountain Gate of the Koka-bashi temple also known as Hokkaibashi. Established in 1627 it’s a testament to enduring faith. It wasn’t always in this spot though. The Great Kanto earthquake of 1923 forced its relocation. Imagine the chaos. The original temple was dedicated by a skilled carpenter. He built this place for his beloved wife. Within its walls are treasures from the Edo period. A small room boasts a stunning “Dragon King Painting”. Another holds a beautiful “Flower Bird Wind Moon Painting” created by a Japanese artist. The temple grounds also feature a monument. It commemorates the opening of the Arakawa River. This river played a crucial role in shaping the area. This quiet place stands as a reminder of the past. A reminder of love loss and resilience. The Koka-bashi temple. Its story is deeply interwoven with Tokyo’s history. It’s a place of serenity amid the urban bustle. A place of peace. A place of quiet reflection. It’s a special place you should remember.
