Warts. Just hearing their name makes you want to get rid of them faster than pronto. And what easier way, than to visit the Wart-Be-Gone Jizo at Nishiarai Daishi temple? Just toss a coin in the box and take a pinch of the sacred pile-o-salt to rub on the offending carbuncle, and this benevolent bodhisattva will cure what ails you.
If you’d like to visit Nishiarai Daishi temple the next time you’re in Tokyo, visit my website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.
