Seigan-in

Located on elevated ground in Suginami-ku, Seigan-in temple contains a substantial golden Buddha statue and provides views toward the Shinjuku district of Tokyo.

The temple stands among more than 100 religious structures scattered throughout Suginami Ward, many relocated during the early 20th century urbanization of Tokyo.

The temple functions as a central gathering place for religious ceremonies and community events within the Rissho Kosei Kai Buddhist organization.

The temple grounds remain open during daylight hours and visitors can reach the site by walking south from JR Koenji Station for ten minutes.

The temple structure incorporates contemporary architectural elements while maintaining traditional Buddhist design principles, reflecting modern Japanese religious expression.
