The area
Neighbourhood: Shinagawa / Gotanda
In Shinagawa, an office district shares space with luxury residential buildings and the scene is constantly changing with rapid development. Ikedayama park and Togoshi park are great places to see beautiful traditional Japanese gardens with ponds, as well as enjoy the changing seasons. Shinagawa was a post and a port town during the Edo era and the lavish old Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples at Shinagawa and Ebara are very popular. It's a great place to get in touch with the old Edo atmosphere on a pleasure boat cruising along the canal. The neighboring area around Gotanda station is a study in modern contrasts filled with unique restaurants and a lively nightlife.

旧東海道品川宿周辺は、寺町になっていて数多くのお寺がありますが、その中の一つ東海寺は、徳川三代将軍家光が、開山に沢庵和尚を呼んで京都の大徳寺の末寺として創建した古刹です。
東海寺は幕府の庇護のもと、諸国の大名など多くの帰依を集め、47000坪もある広大な敷地内に清光院、高源院など数多くの塔頭が造られ、繁栄を極めたそうです。
でも、明治維新以降、幕府や大名の支援がなくなり衰退の一途をたどり現在の東海寺は塔頭の一つだった玄性院が名前を変えて東海寺になっています。
品川神社も大山墓地も含めてあの一角がすべて東海寺だったのですね。

山手通りと目黒川に挟まれた広大な敷地に建つ寺院です。徳川三代将軍・家光が建立したという歴史ある寺ですが、そのわりに地味でひっそりしています。目黒川沿いの歩道から見る白壁と本堂は美しく圧巻です。

京急新馬場駅から徒歩数分、山手通り沿いにある臨済宗のお寺になります。三代将軍徳川家光が沢庵和尚のために建立した寺院だそうです。境内には立派な鐘楼もあって、この鐘は1692年に家光公を弔うために鋳造されたものになります。見どころが多いお寺でした。

目黒川沿いに建つ立派なお寺です。沢庵和尚ゆかりの地として有名です。静かな雰囲気のなかに古い鐘楼と本堂が際立っています。

東海寺は1683年に三代将軍徳川家光が、沢庵和尚のために創建した臨済宗のお寺である。かつては広大な寺域を有し、享保元年には塔頭が17院に及び、歴代将軍が鷹狩の折など頻繁に訪れたと伝わる。鐘楼にある梵鐘は1692年の鋳造で五代将軍綱吉の母が将軍家光の冥福を祈るために寄進したもの。東海寺には細川家墓地もあり、通常は一般公開されていないが、文化の日に公開されることもある。首相にもなった細川護熙さんのご両親のお墓もここにある。少し離れた東海寺大山墓地には沢庵和尚をはじめ、鉄道の父、井上勝、国学者の賀茂真淵などの墓もある。沢庵が「たくあん漬け」の考案者として知られることから、 東海寺はたくあん発祥の地ともいわれている。

臨済宗大徳寺派の東海寺は、萬松山と号します。川沿いに塀で囲まれた大きな敷地を有しています。周囲を圧巻しています。

江戸時代には徳川幕府の庇護のもと大いに栄えましたが、明治時代の廃仏毀釈ですっかり衰えてしまいました。現在、この寺の墓地が離れた飛び地のようなところにありますが、本来はそこまでず~っと寺の境内だったということです。

京急「新馬場」駅から5分ほど、山手通り沿いを西へ行くと「タワーコート北品川」という36階の超高層マンションがあり、その裏に、元禄の時代から400年近く続く由緒ある東海寺があります。創建時の住職は、あの有名な沢庵和尚です。由緒ある梵楼、端正な木造建築「古学殿」は一見の価値があります。

有名な沢庵和尚は紫衣事件で謹慎の身だったのですが、それを解かれた後は、家光に重く用いられ、この寺を賜ったとのこと。華頭窓のいかにも禅宗の寺と言った本堂が広い敷地にドーンと建っていました。

徳川三代将軍家光が沢庵のために東海寺を建立しました。
江戸時代には徳川幕府から手厚い庇護を受け広大な寺域を有していましたが、明治維新後に衰退してしまいました。
境内には世尊殿のほかに、徳川五代将軍綱吉の生母である桂昌院が、家光の菩提を弔うために寄進したと言われる鐘楼があります。
