善養院, Buddhist temple in Setagaya ward, Japan.

Zenyo-in is a Buddhist temple situated within a residential neighborhood, built with wooden framework and traditional tile roofing characteristic of temple architecture. The grounds include multiple buildings arranged to accommodate prayer spaces and communal areas.

The temple was established during the Edo period and has functioned as a spiritual center for local residents ever since. Several structures on the grounds date back to this founding era and continue to define its appearance today.

The temple serves as a gathering place where neighbors participate in Buddhist ceremonies and observe seasonal rituals together. People in the area connect with the site as a living spiritual center that shapes daily community life.

The temple sits within a residential area and is accessible by public transportation; a brief walk through quiet streets leads to the main entrance. Visitors should dress respectfully and observe any guidelines displayed at the site.

The grounds feature dedicated meditation spaces that remain in active use for daily morning and evening practice sessions. These areas reflect an ongoing tradition of contemplative activity that distinguishes the site.
