Zengyoji
豊島区西巣鴨４丁目８−２５
The main hall enshrines a wooden seated statue of the King of Yama (Yama-ō), one of the Three Yama Kings of Edo, and the temple is widely venerated as the 'Temple of Oenma-sama.'
History
This Tendai sect temple is said to have been founded during the Tenchō period (824–833 CE) by the Great Master Jikaku, who established it within the Ueno mountain area. It serves as a branch temple of Ueno Tōei-zan Kōmyō-ji (Kōei-ji). During the Kanbun period of the Edo period, it was relocated to Shitaya Sakamoto, and in 1912 CE (Meiji 45), it moved to its current location.

What visitors say
The main hall houses a massive wooden seated statue of the King of Yama, approximately 3 meters tall, which is truly awe-inspiring. The temple grounds have a quiet atmosphere, and visitors can also see statues of Jizō (the bodhisattva of compassion). Goshuin (temple seal stamps) are available at the administrative office. It is also convenient to combine a visit here with the Yama-dō (Yama Hall) along the Mita Line.
