At Kanzaki-dera Temple, we continually undertake pilgrimage training. Sometimes we visit small sacred places around the country, and sometimes we visit the most famous sacred places in Japan. Sometimes, the priest attends events at temples he has a connection with and learns about the training at those temples, making for a very varied pilgrimage.

The priest plans everything, so you will have fun, experiences, surprises, and various joys that you can only experience on a pilgrimage to Kanzaki-ji Temple, and not encounter when visiting with a travel agency or on your own. Of course, since you will be visiting in a group, there may be inconveniences and inconveniences, but you will often make irreplaceable connections with friends who share the same purpose on this pilgrimage, and perhaps that is the training of life. First-time visitors may have various worries and anxieties, but the pilgrimage is so fascinating that it will more than make up for it, so please join us.

The sacred places currently being pilgrimaged are as follows. You are welcome to join us midway through the pilgrimage.

Kanto 88 Sacred Sites
(Togoku Pilgrimage)
Opening ceremony in Reiwa 5 - Currently on pilgrimage

Kanzaki-ji Temple is the 44th temple of the Kanto 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The Kanto 88 Temple Pilgrimage (Togoku Pilgrimage) was officially recognized by the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage Association in 1995, and is a vast sacred site with 96 temples across one metropolis and six prefectures in the Kanto region.

The Shikoku Pilgrimage is a wonderful sacred site, but Shikoku is far from the Kanto region, and it is difficult to visit on a daily basis. I make a day trip once a month to the 88 Kanto Temples, sacred sites that were sought after and opened in the Kanto region.

The temples we visit are fellow sacred sites, so we receive very good treatment.

Once a month on Sunday

Meet at JR Kinshicho Station and depart at 8:30am

Return to JR Kinshicho Station and disband at 7:00 PM

If you require travel insurance, please make your own arrangements.

Women's Pilgrimage to the 88 Temples of the Edo Imperial Court

The Gofunai Hachijuhachikasho is a Tokyo version of the pilgrimage route, where pilgrims visit 88 temples associated with Kobo Daishi to make prayers. It was established by around 1755, modeled after the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage. The Gofunai area is the area inside Shinagawa, Yotsuya, Itabashi, Senju, and Fukagawa, centered on Edo Castle, and although the area has expanded due to the relocation of temples, it is mostly located within Tokyo's 23 wards .

The pilgrimage to the temple is led by the head priest.

  • Once a month

  • Women only

  • In everyday clothes

  • The tour will meet at the venue in the morning and disband at noon.

And more...

There are temples all over the country that Kanzaki Temple and its priests are familiar with. Many of these are prayer temples that hold unique events. For example, Daigoji Temple, the head temple of the Shingon sect of Buddhism in Kyoto, is the head temple of the Daigo school of Buddhism. We regularly visit these temples. These are temples and events that you would not be able to visit without this connection. Kanzaki Temple can also participate in unique pilgrimage trips. Please feel free to contact us.
