KAN'EI-JI AND JOMYO-IN
At the northern end of Ueno Park and a stone's throw from the Yanaka cemetery stands the Kan'eiji, the central temple to which the entire Ueno Park, the pagoda and the pond were attached. It was a place of power in the Edo period and six Tokugawa leaders are still buried there. On the other side of the main street, Jomyo-in was first the residence of one of the monks of Kan'eiji. The temple would be surrounded by 84,000 jizō, gods of pilgrims and children. At first glance, there is a little less, but the effect is impressive.
