Han'nya-Ji Style Stone Lantern

Han’nya-Ji is said to have been built during the late Kamakura period and many replicas of the stone lantern were made during the Edo Era. Dr. Shotaro Kawakatsu, an authority on stone art, has confirmed the authenticity of this lantern.

Three-Story Pagoda

One of the iconic sites among the many historic relics in the Garden is the Three-Storied Pagoda, currently called Entsukaku. On March 18, 2003, Entsukaku was registered as a “tangible cultural property” of Japan. It is said to have been constructed at Chikurinji Temple in Hiroshima Prefecture by Ono no Takamura, an early Heian period scholar and poet (802 - 852), and renovated by Taira no Kiyomori, a military leader of the late Heian period (1118 - 1181). However, exactly when it was built is unknown; it is estimated to have been constructed either in the Heian period (794-1192) or in the Muromachi Period (1336-1573). The Pagoda, originally located in Chikurinji Temple, was relocated to Chinzan-so Garden in 1925 by Baron Heitaro Fujita (the second owner of the company, which is now known as Fujita Kanko), and is one of the three oldest pagodas still remaining in Tokyo. Wishing to pass this piece of history on from generation to generation, Fujita Kanko Inc. carried out major restoration and seismic reinforcement work on the Pagoda from 2010 to 2011, during which time the wooden statue of bodhisattva was respectfully enshrined. With a calm gaze, Entsukaku, the symbol of Chinzan-so, will continue to welcome our guests to the garden for years to come.
