Shourinji Temple
秩父市番場町７−９
A temple of the Sōtō school of Zen Buddhism located in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture. It is known as the 15th station of the Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage.
History
The exact date of its founding is unknown, but it was established by a monk named Seishuku. Seishuku was the second abbot of Kinsenji Temple, and it is estimated that Shourinji was founded around the mid-Muromachi period, based on the founding date of Kinsenji. The temple was relocated to its current site after inheriting the grounds of Zofukuji Temple, which was closed in the early Meiji period due to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism.
