Tentokuin Temple
For prayers for a good marriage and family happiness, go to Tentokuin, the family temple of princess Tamahime.
Princess Tamahime, who united the Tokugawa and Maeda families and contributed to the prosperity of the Kaga clan, is enshrined at Tentokuin as a symbol of good marriage and family happiness.
Children, the fruit of the love between Princess Tamahime and Toshitsune, who had no concubines, contributed to the Maeda family and its development in various parts of Japan.
At Tentokuin, a karakuri doll “Tale of Princess Tamahime/Tentokuin” (approx. 15 min.) and a karakuri doll DVD (approx. 15 min.) depicting the life of Princess Tamahime are performed,
The “Otori-ishi,” a stone that visitors receive for their own good fortune, and the “Tamahime Kinpaku Goshuin,” a red seal decorated with gold leaf, a specialty of Kanazawa, and the Maeda family crest, are gifts that can only be received here.
These are gifts that can only be received here.
There are also many other attractions, such as a matcha tea ceremony experience with a view of the dry landscape garden, and a “sutra copying experience” in a solemn atmosphere as the temple has long been a highly ranked ascetic monastery.
