The area

Address
Neighborhood: Shinjuku
Shinjuku is the commuting capital of Tokyo, and contains the busiest train station in the world. To the west, there's an office district with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office at its center. To the east, there’s a district with long-established department stores, cinemas and theaters. Shinjuku Gyoen is a park originally built as the garden for the Imperial Household. It is quite famous as a venue for cherry-blossom viewing in March and April. In Shinjuku, many restaurants operate all night, and districts such as Omoide Yokocho (Memory Lane) or Shinjuku Golden Machi have back streets filled with tiny restaurants and bars that reflect each owner’s unique taste and style.

入り口に一刀流ゆかりのお寺としての案内があります。そして、その上鐘楼。

お寺はマンションの1階にあるようです。
時折このようなお寺を見ることがありますが、時代の流れというか、場所的にやぬを得ないところかもしれません。

牛込柳駅周辺のお寺めぐりで訪れました。マンションの1階部分に鐘がある珍しい雰囲気。周囲の住宅地の中にある古いお寺とは趣が異なり,不思議な雰囲気でした。

 地下鉄・牛込柳町駅南側の新宿区原町2丁目にある顕本法華宗の寺院で、大久保通りから一寸入ったところにあり駅西口から東方向に歩いて直ぐです。
 ここ常楽寺の非常に珍しいところは、本堂がマンションの1階に入っているということだろう と思います。
 今までに神社だが、社務所や会館などがマンションの1階などに入っている、というか、境内の社務所などの上をマンションにしているが、本殿は独立しているのを2,3ヶ所で見た記憶があります。
 が、寺務所などを初め本堂までもマンションの中なのは、これまで見たことがなく非常に珍しい造りでは と思います。
 墓地は、マンションというか本堂の後ろにありかなり広いです。
 また、江戸時代の剣豪「一刀流」ゆかりのお寺 ということで、山門右手の梵鐘の下に説明書きが掲げられています。

都営地下鉄大江戸線の牛込柳町駅からほど近いマンションの一角にテナントのように入居しているお寺です。天気や季節を問わず勤行ができる利便性満点のお寺で、全国的に見ても珍しい立地だと思いました。

地下鉄大江戸線線の牛込柳町駅の側のマンションで見つけました。鐘があるマンションはご利益がありそうではないですか。

都営地下鉄大江戸線の牛込柳町駅降りてすぐのところにある 顕本法華宗のお寺です。マンションに組み込まれていて、まず入ったところにある山門を兼ねた鐘つき堂は非常にモダンな形をしているのに驚かされます。本堂も1階なので、とても珍しいと感じました。小野派一刀流剣術を創始した小野忠明の子、日忠上人がルーツになっていますので、鐘つき堂の下に一刀流の系譜と説明がありました。

大江戸線牛込柳町駅西口出口のすぐ近くにあります。大江戸線の駅が出来るまでは交通の便が悪く不便なところでしたが、駅が出来て突然交通の便が良くなり、本堂を高層マンションに建て替えた感じです。高層マンションの1階に本堂があります。広い墓所はマンションの裏にあります。
尚、江戸時代の剣豪「一刀流」ゆかりのお寺の様です。

敷地をどんな風に区別して住み分けているのか微妙ですが、まるで寺の本体とマンションが合体しているようにみえるお寺です。マンションの一階部分がお寺としてテナントのように入っているのが分かります。それを見るだけでも面白いので、一見の価値はあります。
