History

Shôunji, built in Mitsuya Shinden, Mishima, is an ancient temple that illuminates the world with the light of wisdom from Manjushri Bodhisattva. It is known as a place where those seeking learning have come to pray for good fortune, and is said to have brought about many turning points in lives. The garden watched over by ancient pine trees across generations brings quiet contemplation and wisdom to visitors. It grows more prosperous each year as those seeking good fortune and blessing gather here.
