Zenshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Asao-ku, Japan.

Zenshō-ji is a Buddhist temple in Asao-ku featuring a main hall, pagoda, and traditional gates surrounded by well-maintained Japanese gardens and stone lanterns. The complex combines architectural elements typical of Japanese temple design.

The temple was originally built in the seventh century and underwent multiple reconstructions, including a major restoration following damage during World War II. These rebuildings reflect how the site endured through different historical periods.

The temple hosts regular ceremonies where visitors can participate in o-mikuji fortune-telling rituals and receive sacred paper predictions. These practices remain active parts of the temple's daily life and visitor experience.

The temple is located near public transportation in Kawasaki and open during regular hours for visitors. Meditation and prayer spaces are available for those wishing to use them.

The grounds feature a collection of ancient cedar trees, including specimens recognized as natural monuments by the Japanese government. These old trees are integral to the character of the site and form a distinctive aspect of the temple.
