自性院, Buddhist temple in Fujisawa, Japan.

The Jishoin Temple features a main hall constructed using traditional wooden joinery techniques from the Edo period, with three Buddhist statues inside.

The temple was established in 1611 by Nakane Rintaro with Master Ryuken as its founding priest, initially named Ishikawasan Ryukenji Temple.

The temple serves as stop 37 on the Sagami Shikoku Pilgrimage route, containing an Amida Trinity with the central figure measuring 42 centimeters in height.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking a bus from Mutsuai-Nichidai-mae Station on the Odakyu Enoshima Line, followed by a two-minute walk from bus stop 5-West.

The temple houses the Kanguro Jizo statue, which local residents visit to make wishes, believing in its power to fulfill their prayers.
