Seigan-in Temple (清岩院)

The main hall of Seigan-in Temple

Just southwest of Fussa Station in Tokyo stands Seigan-in Temple (清岩院), officially known as Fussho-zan Seigan-in (福生山清岩院). This Buddhist temple, part of the Kencho-ji school of the Rinzai sect, was founded during the Oei era (1394–1428) by Shingen Kitetsu (心源希徹).

The pond in the Japanese garden in front of the main hall is fed by one of the springs selected as part of "Tokyo's 57 Famous Springs."

Benten Hall and the stone prayer wheel

Next to the main hall is the Benten Hall (弁天堂), along with a stone prayer wheel.

Sanmon

Koshin-to

In front of the sanmon (temple gate) stands a koshin-to — a stone monument erected by followers of the Koshin faith as an expression of devotion — engraved with the year Genroku 12, which corresponds roughly to 1699. It is the oldest of its kind in Fussa and has been designated a tangible cultural property by the city.
