Daishin-ji

Daishin-ji follows the principles of Pure Land Buddhism and contains multiple prayer halls adorned with traditional Japanese architectural elements and religious artifacts.

Founded in 1611 by Ryō-kō Shōnin, the temple moved to its current location in 1635 following the expansion directives of Edo's development plan.

The temple earned recognition as 'The Shamisen Temple' after becoming the final resting place for eleven generations of the Ishimura family, notable shamisen craftsmen.

Visitors can participate in daily memorial services from 8:00 to 9:30 AM and attend monthly festivals held on the eighth day of each month.

The temple grounds feature stone statues of Fudo-Myoo, Zizo Bosatsu, and Benzaitennyo positioned along the mountain path leading to the main buildings.
