Saishō-ji, Buddhist temple in Setagaya, Japan.
The temple grounds contain a collection of ancient trees, including a century-old Chisha tree listed among Setagaya's hundred notable trees.
Established in 1311 by Monk Gen'o, the temple relocated during Edo Castle construction and received extensive land grants in 1604.
The temple houses the Meao Fudo statue, one of Tokyo's Five Colored Fudo Myoo statues, representing spiritual protection through its blue hue.
Located at 4-15-1 Taishido, the temple sits 4 minutes from Sangenjaya Station, accessible via Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line and Setagaya Line.
The temple maintains its original bronze Fudo Myoo statue in a dedicated hall, though the main deity remains hidden from public view.
