Saijoji Temple, Gakugakuin, Takezono-yama
世田谷区太子堂４丁目１５−１
A Tendai sect temple and one of the branch temples of Kuon-ji. It is also known by the nickname Meaifudo (Blue-Eyed Fudo) and is the 16th site of the Kanto 36 Fudo Pilgrimage.
History
Legend holds that it was founded in 1311 CE (Ocho 1) by the monk Gen'ou near the Momijiyama area of Edo Castle, though some theories date its founding to 1604 CE (Keicho 9). It was subsequently relocated several times due to the construction of Edo Castle and government edicts, moving from Komeji Kaituka to Akasaka, then to Aoyama Minami-machi, before settling at its current location. In 1882 CE (Meiji 15), the main statue of Fudo Myo-o (Meaifudo) from the now-abandoned Kanjoji temple was transferred to Saijoji.

What visitors say
Located within walking distance of Sainzaburuya Station, the temple grounds are lush with trees and have a quiet atmosphere. It enshrines Meaifudo, one of the Five Colored Fudo of Edo, and worship is conducted from outside the hall. The surrounding streets are narrow and mostly one-way, so caution is advised. Goshuin (shrine calligraphic seal stamps) can be obtained at the kitchen building (kuri).
