Zuishō-ji, Buddhist temple in Shirokanedai, Tokyo, Japan.

At Zuishō-ji, the ornate Main Hall stands as a designated Important Cultural Property, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and Buddhist design motifs.

Founded in 1670 by monk Mu'an and patron Aoki Shigekane, this temple became a prominent center for the Ōbaku school of Zen Buddhism in Edo period.

The temple forms part of the Ganso Yamate Shichifukujin pilgrimage route and houses a statue of Hotei, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune.

Located one minute from Hakusan Station exit 1 on the Mita Line, the temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM without entrance fees.
