Jōshō-in, Buddhist temple in Shibakōen, Japan

Jōshō-in temple features wooden structures surrounding a central main hall, with paths leading through natural forest areas and traditional gardens.

The temple grounds contain a vermillion gate named Yoshino-mon, funded by the Edo Period courtesan Yoshino Tayu II in the early 17th century.

Traditional Buddhist ceremonies and practices continue at Jōshō-in, where visitors can participate in meditation sessions and observe religious rituals.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking public transportation to nearby stations and following marked pathways through the Shibakōen district.

Each April, the temple hosts a memorial service featuring processions in traditional attire, open-air tea ceremonies, and flower arrangement exhibitions.
