Sōji-ji Soin

The temple stands at the northern edge of the Noto Peninsula, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture with seven main halls and meditation spaces.

Founded in 1321 by Zen master Keizan Jokin, the temple relocated its main operations to Yokohama in 1911 while maintaining its original site.

The temple holds regular zazen meditation sessions, traditional Buddhist ceremonies, and seasonal festivals that connect local residents with Buddhist practices.

Visitors can access the temple grounds daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with guided tours available in Japanese through the seven main temple structures.

The temple complex includes access to Kowa Shusui, a natural spring discovered by the founding monk that ranks among Japan's top 100 water sources.
