Shinshō-ji, Buddhist temple in Sugamo, Toshima, Japan

Shinsho-ji Temple houses a significant bronze statue of Jizo Bodhisattva, designated as a cultural property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.

The temple gained prominence during the Edo period when Shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune frequently visited, marking it as a significant religious landmark.

As the 33rd temple on both the Toyo-Nai and Toshima 88-temple pilgrimage routes, Shinsho-ji maintains traditional Buddhist ceremonies and rituals.

The temple provides parking spaces upon request at the temple office and offers complete restroom facilities for visitors throughout the day.

The temple's bronze Jizo Bodhisattva statue was constructed using an innovative technique that combined 15 separate cast components.
