I went to Togenuki Jizoson in Sugamo, Tokyo. It's formally called Kogangi temple. It was opened in Yushima in 1596 then relocated in Sugamo in 1891. Togenuki Jizoson is very famous for Togenuki Jizo Statue. People are queuing to pure water and then wash it with a small towel. It is believed that the illness in the part of Jizo Statue you wash will cure.
