貞昌院, Buddhist temple in Kōnan-ku, Japan.

Teishoin Temple is a Buddhist temple in Kōnan-ku with traditional Japanese architecture and meditation halls on its grounds. The buildings and spaces provide a quiet place for practitioners who wish to engage in seated meditation training and spiritual study.

The temple was originally founded in 1582 under a different name and Buddhist school affiliation. The Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923 caused severe damage to the buildings, which led to significant reconstruction of the site.

The temple serves as a living center where people gather to practice seated meditation and deepen their understanding of Buddhist teachings. Regular Zazen sessions remain at the heart of community life, inviting visitors to experience this ancient practice firsthand.

The temple offers free meditation sessions and morning services, with schedules available through its official website. Visitors should come prepared for traditional Japanese customs and bring appropriate clothing and a respectful demeanor.

The temple grounds use solar power for operations and feature a live camera system that allows remote followers to watch temple activities online. This makes it one of the few Japanese temples that shares its daily practices with the world.
