Inside Tokyo's Renkō-ji Temple: The final resting place of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose?
Credit: Instagram/@shige_japaniguruji Tucked away in a quiet corner of Tokyo's Suginami Ward stands Renkō-ji Temple—a modest, centuries-old Buddhist shrine that has quietly drawn visitors, questions, and emotions for nearly eight decades. Far from a tourist hotspot, this unassuming temple holds an object of immense historical significance and emotional gravity: an urn said to contain the ashes of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, one of India's most enigmatic freedom fighters. And with it, Renkō-ji cradles a mystery that continues to haunt Indian memory: did Bose really die in that 1945 plane crash? From revolution to reverence: Bose's Japan connection Subhas Chandra Bose remains a towering figure in India's independence movement, celebrated for his uncompromising stance against British rule and his leadership of the Indian National Army (INA). Unlike Mahatma Gandhi's path of non-violence, Bose believed liberation required force. During World War II, he forged alliances with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in hopes of toppling British colonial power. Credit: iStock In 1943, Bose arrived in East Asia, rallying the INA under Japanese sponsorship and setting his eyes on India through Burma. But after Japan's surrender in August 1945, the tide turned. Official accounts claim Bose died on August 18, 1945, after his Japanese military aircraft crashed in Taipei. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Badly burned, he was said to have died two days later, and his remains were cremated and brought to Japan. On September 14, 1945, his ashes were entrusted to the Tokyo Indian Independence League and placed in Renkō-ji Temple following a memorial service. A shrine, a mystery, a memory Renkō-ji Temple was established in 1594 and belongs to the Nichiren sect of Buddhism. Unlike the grand shrines of Kyoto or the iconic temples of Tokyo, Renkō-ji is serene and simple—its architecture quiet, its grounds humble. Yet it holds a significant legacy. At the center of its courtyard stands a bronze bust of Netaji, installed in 1975. Flanked by plaques marking visits from Indian dignitaries—Jawaharlal Nehru in 1957, Indira Gandhi in 1969, Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001, and others—the site becomes a place of pilgrimage every August 18, when the temple opens for a memorial service marking Bose's reported death anniversary. Inside the main hall, a small golden pagoda holds the urn said to contain his ashes. For the rest of the year, Renkō-ji remains closed to the public, adding to the enigma that surrounds it. Contested remains and unanswered questions But here's where reverence meets controversy. The authenticity of the ashes has long been disputed. While Japanese records and commissions like the 1970 G.D. Khosla Commission affirm Bose's death in the crash, the 2005 Mukherjee Commission disagreed, concluding there was no conclusive evidence Bose died in Taiwan. The Indian government dismissed the Mukherjee findings without explanation, keeping the debate alive. Theories about Bose's fate abound—some claim he escaped to the Soviet Union, others suggest he lived in secrecy in India. Family members, including his daughter Anita Bose Pfaff and grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose, have repeatedly called for DNA testing of the remains. In a 2005 letter, Renkō-ji's then-chief priest confirmed the temple's willingness to permit testing. Yet no test has been conducted, and as of 2025, the ashes remain undisturbed. Credit: iStock Visiting Renkō-ji: A quiet pilgrimage Located about 500 meters from Higashi-Koenji Station, Renkō-ji isn't easy to stumble upon. Hidden in a residential neighborhood and absent of English signage, it's not on most Tokyo travel itineraries. Those who make the journey often describe it as a profoundly emotional experience. Through Sanshi-no-Mori Park and into the temple courtyard, visitors are greeted not with fanfare, but with solemnity. The priests' decades-long guardianship of the ashes—now upheld by Nichiko Mochizuki, the son of Reverend Kyoei Mochizuki—adds a layer of reverence not often seen in global shrines to foreign figures. A legacy awaits closure Despite public interest, political visits, and continued family appeals, no Indian government has made a formal request to repatriate the remains. The Japanese government and temple custodians have signaled their willingness, but the silence from New Delhi remains deafening. In the heart of Tokyo, far from Netaji's birthplace in Cuttack or the battlegrounds of Southeast Asia, Renkō-ji Temple keeps vigil. It holds not just an urn, but a story unfinished—a story of courage, of freedom, and of a nation's unanswered question.

"Awesome Tip" - Sommelier's Simple Hack To Store Leftover Wine Goes Viral
What do you do if you have wine leftover in a bottle at home? Do you usually put the cork back on to try to "seal" it again? A viral video by an expert making the rounds online claims this isn't the best practice if you want to maintain the taste and freshness of the wine. The video was shared by Warner, a Sommelier and Wine Educator, whose social media username is @confidenceuncorked. In the clip, she suggests an alternative way of storing leftover wine and clarifies why it is more effective than re-corking a bottle. Also Read: 5 Genius Ways To Reuse Wine Bottles At Home Warner explains that re-inserting the cork is not advisable as it means that half (or more than half) of the bottle still has oxygen inside. Since corks are porous, they will allow oxygen into the half-empty bottle of wine. "What you really wanna do is reduce the amount of oxygen to wine ratio," she says. So, she recommends using a mason jar to store the leftover wine instead. You can also use any other similar kind of airtight container, according to her. As she speaks, she pours some wine into a mason jar and shows how the ratio of oxygen to wine is much better in this case - as the jar is almost completely filled with the wine. She explains that one can use different sizes of jars, depending on the amount of leftover wine that needs to be stored. "I swear by this. It will make your wine still taste fresh even a couple of days after you opened it. Whereas, a day after I open a bottle of wine and put the cork back on, I can tell the difference. Don't knock it till you try it." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Warner | Sommelier & Wine Educator 🍷 (@confidenceuncorked) Although the video was first posted online long ago, it has continued to grab eyeballs online. Recently, it has received a fresh wave of interest on social media. Here's how Instagram users reacted to Warner's viral hack: "Thanks for the awesome tip!" "I have been doing this for 25 years! I have never seen anyone else recommend it! Great tip!" "Leftover wine!? Wait, you mean you don't have to drink it all? Weird..." "What is this thing you call 'leftover wine?' Please explain..." "I truly thought she was gonna say simply drink the rest of the wine, reduce oxygen in the bottle." "The real trick is just to finish the bottle. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk." "Now I drink my wine only from jars." "Great tip! Going to do this!" "I do this with my berries, so it only makes sense with wine!" "I agree. I've been doing this for a while. It definitely stays fresher longer." "Or you just buy a vacuum pump for a couple of dollars." If you want to use up your leftover wine by doing something other than drinking it, we have a few fun suggestions. Read the article here to discover them.
