世田谷区下馬４丁目９−４
An independent temple located in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, commonly known as "Setagaya Kannon." Despite being founded after World War II, it houses a large collection of cultural properties, including important cultural properties and tangible cultural properties dating back to before the Edo period.
History
Founded in 1951 by former businessman Mutsukata Ota, who invested his personal wealth in its creation. The main image, a statue of the Holy Kannon (Avalokiteshvara), was brought from Mie Prefecture and is the origin of the temple's common name, "Setagaya Kannon." Within the temple grounds stands the Tokkō Kannon Hall, which enshrines the spirits of 4,704 kamikaze (special attack) squad members, and the temple houses many cultural properties.

What visitors say
The vast temple grounds offer many highlights, including important cultural property Buddhist statues, the Tokkō Peace Kannon Hall, and the former Odawara Magistrate's Residence, allowing visitors to enjoy a stroll on the scale of an open-air museum. Accessible by bus from Sengakuji Station, it is a hidden gem where one can quietly enjoy the temple garden during cherry blossom season. Goshuin (shrine/temple calligraphic seal stamps) are available at the temple office, and rules such as wearing a mask must be observed.
