真盛寺

Shinsei-ji features traditional Japanese architecture with gardens containing peonies, weeping cherry trees, moss gardens, rock formations with waterfalls, and bamboo groves.

The temple, established in 1597 by Imagawa Ujizane during Japan's transition from the Warring States Period, received recognition from the Tokugawa Shogunate in 1649.

As part of the Soto sect of Zen Buddhism, the temple maintains daily rituals and provides spaces for meditation and spiritual practices within its grounds.

Visitors can access the temple through a 15-minute walk south from Kamiigusa Station on the Seibu Shinjuku line or 26 minutes northwest from Ogikubo Station.

The temple grounds contain multiple gardens with different natural elements, offering separate spaces for contemplation through each distinct seasonal change.
