Man'en-zan Shōshō-ji (Shoshō-ji Temple)
港区愛宕２丁目４−７
A Sōtō school temple with the mountain name Man'en-zan. It is one of the three great temples of Edo and has a history as an academy that later developed into Komazawa University.
History
Founded in 1476 CE (Bunmei 8) when Ōta Dōgon invited the monk Un'gō Shuntoku to establish the temple. Originally located in the area around Kaita in Musashi Province, it was relocated to its current site when Tokugawa Ieyasu expanded Edo Castle. As one of the three great temples of Edo, it served as the ancestral temple for many feudal lords and their retainers.

Despite being located in the middle of a city filled with high-rise buildings, the temple grounds are a spacious and tranquil space. The impressive main gate, main hall, Kannon Hall, and Zazen Hall stand in a row, allowing visitors to feel the charm of each season. While the surrounding area is lively, stepping inside offers a calm atmosphere for worship.
