Teishoji

Teishoji Temple features a statue of the goddess of mercy positioned in front of the primary mausoleum, facing towards the Oi dam in Nagano Prefecture.

The temple was established in 1933 by Sadayakko Kawakami, who achieved recognition as the first professional stage actress in Japanese theatrical history.

The temple building contains a dedicated space that displays personal belongings and materials documenting the life of Sadayakko Kawakami and Momosuke Fukuzawa.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a taxi from Unuma Station on JR line or Shin-Unuma Station on the Meitetsu Train line.

The temple grounds include a Deva gate with ornate carvings and maintain connections to both traditional Buddhist architecture and early Japanese cinema.
