Seishō-ji, Buddhist temple in Atago, Tokyo, Japan

This Soto Zen temple features a main concrete hall from 1931 and traditional gardens within its grounds at the heart of Minato district.

Founded in 1476 by Ōta Dōkan during the Muromachi period, the temple relocated to its current location during the expansion of Edo Castle.

The temple holds distinction as one of the Three Temples in Edo, managing numerous Soto Zen temples throughout the Kanto region during the Edo period.

Visitors can reach Seishō-ji by taking a seven-minute walk northwest from Onarimon Station on the Toei Mita Line in central Tokyo.

The temple grounds contain a memorial stone dedicated to Indonesian independence fighters, presented by President Sukarno in 1956.
