Daishin-ji

Daishin-ji Temple features traditional Japanese architecture with stone-marked entrances and gardens designed according to Buddhist principles of the Jōdo sect.

Founded in 1611 by Ryō-kō Shōnin in Minami Hatchōbori, the temple relocated to its current location in Mita 4 chōme during 1635.

The temple holds deep connections to shamisen music traditions, containing the graves of eleven generations of the Ishimura family of instrument craftsmen.

Located at 4-7-20 Mita in Minato ward, visitors can reach the temple within three minutes by walking from exit 2 of Shirokane-Takanawa station.

The temple preserves the burial site of Ishimura Genzaemon, recognized as the first shamisen craftsman in Edo, who was interred here in 1636.
