Jishō-in

Jisho-in Temple stands near Haneda Shrine, featuring traditional architecture and grounds decorated with carefully maintained pine trees and a stone gardener statue.

The temple dates back over eight centuries and was originally dedicated to Gozu-tenno, an ox-headed deity associated with protection against disease.

The temple underwent changes during the Shinbutsu Bunri period, which mandated the separation of Buddhist and Shinto practices in Japanese religious institutions.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Keikyu Airport Line to Otorii Station and walking eight minutes from the West Exit.

The 13th Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Iseda, once prayed at this temple for recovery from smallpox, and his prayers were reportedly answered.
