Souzenji Temple
板橋区小豆沢３丁目７−９
A Soto sect temple located in Itabashi Ward, Tokyo, with the mountain name Myo-kazan. It was known as one of the three major Soto temples in Edo during the Edo period.
History
Originally located in Asakusabashi, the temple began when Myo-kani established a hermitage to mourn the soul of Umemaruko, the son of Yoshida Yitobu of Kyoto. It was later revived and re-established by the Musashi Chiba clan and Satake Yoshinobu, becoming one of the three major Soto temples in Edo during the Edo period. After being damaged in the Great Kanto Earthquake, it relocated in 1928 (Showa 3) to its current location, sharing the grounds of Daizenji, where it merged and remains to this day.

What visitors say
The mountain gate and main hall are grand structures, with an exterior that evokes a sense of history through details such as carved handrails. The temple grounds are well-maintained, making it a suitable environment for visiting graves. However, some reviews point out inconsistencies in the landscape, noting that the main hall and funeral hall appear unused for long periods, and that some unfinished buildings remain.
