Jodo-shu Meisoin (Chozan-ya Hoki-ji)
港区南青山２丁目２６−３８
A Jodo-shu (Pure Land) temple and the 24th station of the Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage. It was rebuilt in 2003 by architect Kengo Kuma.
History
In 1643, after the death of Aoyama Yukinari, his body was cremated within the grounds of his lower residence by his eldest son, and the temple was established on that cremation site. The temple name was derived from Yukinari's posthumous Buddhist name, while the mountain name was taken from the posthumous Buddhist name of his wife. It branched off from the estate inherited by Aoyama Tadanari, a magistrate (machi-bugyo) in the early Edo period, and became the family temple (bodai-ji) of the Aoyama clan descended from Yukinari.

Located just outside the exit of Gaien-mae Station, the approach path features a bamboo grove and is lined with Jizo statues. As a station on the Edo 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, it enshrines a Kannon statue within a modern building. Note that map searches may direct you to a different building, so please verify the correct entrance.
