Teisō-ji Temple, Buddhist temple in Ueki, Japan.

Teisō-ji is a Jōdo-shū temple in Ueki, Kamakura, whose single-storey main hall has a grey metal hip-and-gable roof and a facade of white plaster panels framed by dark brown timber. A curved-gabled porch on two square posts shelters a raised platform reached by four stone steps, with a wooden door, white sliding panels and a notice board. Only the long nagayamon gate survives from before the 1923 earthquake.

Teisō-ji was built in 1611 on the site of the residence of Sadamune-in, mother of Saigō-no-Tsubone and grandmother of Tokugawa Hidetada, who died in 1609. It was first a branch temple of Daichō-ji, later declined, and in 1672 received 10 koku of temple land from Tokugawa Ietsuna, becoming a branch of Shiba Zōjō-ji. The 1923 Great Kantō earthquake destroyed the main hall, gate, storehouse and kitchen; only the nagayamon survived.

The temple keeps objects tied to the Tokugawa shoguns: the memorial tablets of successive shoguns, and a set of lacquered tableware donated by Saigō no Tsubone, bearing the family's three-leaf hollyhock crest. It also holds a copy of the Daizōkyō, the Buddhist canon first printed in movable type in Japan in 1879. The precinct is known for its plum blossoms.

Teisō-ji stands near Kanagawa Prefectural Route 302, the Kobukatani-Fujisawa line, in Ueki, Kamakura. The temple grounds are reached on foot from that road; the source gives no bus or train connection, so plan the approach from the nearby route. The single-storey main hall and the surviving nagayamon gate stand close together, and four wide stone steps lead up to the entrance porch.

The temple grounds are known for their plum blossoms, and the temple was built on the site of the residence where Jōshun-in, mother of Sōon and grandmother of Tokugawa Hidetada, spent her final years. She died in 1609, and the temple was founded in 1611 according to her will.
