Aizen-in, Buddhist temple in Nerima, Japan

Located in the Kasugacho district of Nerima, Aizen-in Temple features multiple buildings including a red-painted gate and several stone monuments in its grounds.

Founded in 1437 by monk Noen-bo Songaku, the temple moved to its current location between 1624 and 1644 under the direction of Sonchi, a high-ranking Buddhist priest.

The temple houses the Aizen Myoo statue as its principal object of worship, alongside a temple bell from 1701 and numerous historical stone sculptures.

The temple complex includes multiple ceremonial halls and a large funeral hall with three separate rooms that can accommodate up to 500 people for religious services.

The temple grounds contain a memorial stone dedicated to Nerima Daikon radish, installed in 1940 with an inscription by the Governor of Tokyo Prefecture.
