Shin'iji, Buddhist temple in Nerima-ku, Japan.
Description
Shin'iji is a Buddhist temple in Nerima featuring a main hall designed in Indian architectural style, mirroring the Hongwanji Tsukiji Branch design. The grounds contain a spacious courtyard and burial areas accessible to the public.
History
The temple was established in 1920 by Master Arakawa Saisho as a branch of Shingyo-ji Temple in Ikebukuro. It relocated to its present site in 1929 as an independent institution.
