Renkeiji Temple

Renkeiji Temple

Renkeiji Temple (蓮慶寺) in Uedai, Agui Town, Chita District, Aichi Prefecture, has a main hall of 1811, a great gate of 1896 and earthen walls of 1951 that were registered as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties on June 21, 2013 (Agency for Cultural Affairs). All three are owned by the temple.

The Three Structures

The main hall, in the south-west corner of the precinct facing east, is nine bays by eight and a half under a hip-and-gable roof of full tiles, its inner sanctuary raised under a double-coved ceiling, a large and dignified Shin Buddhist hall (Agency for Cultural Affairs).

The great gate in front of it, in the south-east corner, is a grand four-legged gate with decorated gables on double tie beams, and the earthen walls turn at right angles from either side of it, together giving the front of the precinct its finished look (Agency for Cultural Affairs). Each structure is described on its own page.
