Shoin-ji

沼津市原128

4.2(99)

The head temple of the Hakuin school, where the monk Hakuin Ekaku served as abbot. It is a Rinzai Zen temple that houses cultural properties such as Hakuin's grave, self-portraits, and sculptures.

History

The temple is said to have been founded in 1279 by Tenjo Seido. After falling into disrepair, it was revived in 1624 by Daisui Sokuiku. In 1649, Tokugawa Iemitsu granted a shuinjo (a certificate of official recognition), officially permitting it as a Zen temple. Since Hakuin Ekaku took up the position of abbot in 1717, the temple has become known nationwide as a site associated with Hakuin.
