Shushō-in, Buddhist temple in Nishi Nippori, Tokyo, Japan
Shushō-in features traditional Japanese architectural elements with wooden structures and ornate decorations that represent Buddhist temple design principles.
Founded in 1573 and relocated to its current location in 1663, the temple stands as a religious institution in the Arakawa district of Tokyo.
The temple houses representations of Hotei-son, one of the seven Lucky Gods, who appears with a large belly and bag symbolizing abundance.
Located six minutes from Nishi Nippori Station on the JR Yamanote Line, the temple maintains regular visiting hours for religious services and meditation.
During New Year celebrations, local residents gather at Shushō-in to pay respects to Hotei-son, the God of Wealth, following centuries-old traditions.
