Neighbourhood: Ueno, Asakusa
Traces of the history and culture of the Edo (old Tokyo) era remain vividly in Ueno and Asakusa. Spacious Ueno Park is a great place to relax and visit a variety of different museums and galleries. At Ameyoko which starts in front of Ueno station, the grocery stores and clothing shops are crammed alongside fishmongers. It gets particularly busy at the end of the year, when many people go on shopping sprees. The town of Asakusa, developed around Sensoji temple, has many shops selling goods and clothing from old Japan, making it a great place for souvenir hunting. It's also known for various annual festivals, and the whole district gets involved with the huge Sanja Festival in May.

We will provide information about "Untenji Temple" in Nishi-Asakusa, Taito Ward. We visited "Untenji Temple" on October 3, 2023. To access "Untenji Temple", exit Exit 3 of "Tawaramachi Station" on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, continue straight, and at the first traffic light, there is a "Mister Donut Asakusa Shop", so turn left there and go straight for about 30 meters and you will see "Untenji Temple" on your left.
"Untenji Temple" is a temple of the Otani sect of Shinshu. Although the founding date of "Untenji Temple" is unknown, it is said to have been founded by "Senjun". "Untenji Temple" is a modern three-story building-type temple made of reinforced concrete with a parking lot on the first floor. At first glance, it looks like a home, but it is a proper temple. The entrance to the temple says "Natsumedera", and it is said to be a temple with swaying jujube trees. It is said that it was once nicknamed "Natsumedera".

⑵ Overview of the "operating temple" ① Temple name: operating temple ② Sect: Shinshu Otaniha

"真宗大谷派の寺院です。「なつめ寺」とも呼ばれているのは、日中戦争下、当時の住職が祖宗の聖地を訪ねて、山西省玄中寺の廃墟からなつめを持ち帰って育て、そのなつめを横山大観が写生したからだと言われています。東本願寺周辺にお寺が軒を並べている一角にあります。

西浅草周辺にはたくさんのお寺があると聞いて、お寺巡りに行きました。運行寺は真宗のお寺です。この周辺のお寺は近代的なコンクリート造りの本堂が多く、運行寺も新しい雰囲気でした。

大谷。
散策するには適していない。見応えもなく趣も感じれれなくはないが、生活感がある。ビルよりかはマシといったところ。

この運行寺は創建が不明です。この運工事は東本願寺から浅草寺に通じる小道にあります。この西浅草の一角には今も多くの寺院があります。その中でも新しいイｍｓ－ジの寺になっています。

一階は普通の家風、二階はいくぶん寺院らしい意匠が施されています。観光寺ではないので、外観だけの見学になります。この付近は東本願寺別院を中心とした寺町になっていて、多くの寺院がありますが、一つ一つのお寺というよりは、散策して寺町の全体的な雰囲気を味わうといったほうがいいでしょう。実際、雷門通りなどからも近いにもかかわらず、観光客はほとんどおらず、静かな雰囲気でした。

東本願寺を中心とする寺町にあるお寺で、本願寺と同じ真宗です。この地域は東本願寺の末寺となるお寺がたくさんあり、これらの末寺はあまり特徴が無い印象です。まあ、観光のターゲットではないと思います。

田原町駅の北西側のエリアには多数の寺院がありますがその中の一寺院で真宗大谷派の寺院です。山門も参道もなく道路に本堂が直接面していて、観光的な要素はあまり感じることはできませんでした。
