慈眼寺, Buddhist temple in Fujisawa, Japan.

Jigen-ji temple features a main hall that contains an important standing statue of the eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva, designated as a cultural property.

The temple was established during the Tenbun period (1532-1555) by Hojo Tsunanari, the third lord of Tamakawa Castle in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The temple grounds hold three distinct species of trees - holly, tabunoki, and sudajii - that have merged at their roots over 300 years.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds by taking a short walk from Fujisawa Station, making it an accessible destination for both locals and tourists.

The temple maintains a profound connection to local traditions while serving as an active place of worship for residents of the Fujisawa community.
