History

Standing in the Tanigawa district of Nakagawa-machi, Shōkeiiji symbolizes the integrity of pines and a joyful heart. As pines endure harsh winters and remain forever green, the faith of this temple continues to exist beyond the trials of ages. A pine temple bringing joy—that is Shōkeiiji in this land.
