Seson-in
杉並区阿佐谷北１丁目２６−２
A temple of the Toyasan school of Shingon Buddhism, enshrining Fudo Myoo (the Immovable Wisdom King) as its principal deity. It features a Kannon-do (Hall of Avalokitesvara) housing a standing statue of Seikan Kannon (Holy Avalokitesvara), designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by Setagaya Ward.
History
It is said to have been founded around 1429 CE as a sub-temple of Hozan-ji. During the Edo period, it served as the betto-ji (administrative temple) for Tenso Shrine and Tenuma Kumano Shrine. In 1973, it was relocated to its current site due to the construction of Nakasugi-dori Avenue.
