Zōzen-ji

Zozen-ji temple stands as a principal Jodo Shu Buddhist establishment, featuring the Amida Buddha statue and traditional architectural elements throughout its grounds.

The temple, established in 1393, relocated to its present location in 1598 following Ieyasu Tokugawa's arrival in Edo and became the family temple of the Tokugawa clan.

The temple functions as the main center for Jodo Shu Buddhism in the Kanto region, maintaining traditional practices and religious ceremonies throughout the year.

The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM without closure days, offering free admission to the main grounds and paid entry to special areas.

The Daibonsho bell, completed in 1673, ranks among the three most significant bells of the Edo Period, ringing daily across the temple grounds.
