Saikai-ji, Buddhist temple in Minato-ku, Japan

Saikai-ji temple stands at 4-16-23 Mita on the Tsuki no Misaki highland, featuring Amitabha as its principal religious representation point.

The temple grounds contain the remains of the first French diplomatic residence, established in 1621 when St. Munen discovered the location.

As the 26th temple among the 33 Kannon temples in the Edo region, Saikai-ji maintains its position in traditional Buddhist pilgrimage circuits.

The temple occupies a position near the Edo bay, accessible through various transportation options from central Tokyo districts.

The temple grounds preserve the intersection of French diplomatic history and Japanese religious traditions, marking an early point of international relations.
