About this Shrine

Shōjin-ji, a Buddhist temple in the town of Shōzu, is near the site of Shōtō-ji Temple. Shōtō-ji is one of Japan's oldest temples, dedicated to the legend of Prince Shotoku (c. 574–622), who is considered a saint and a major figure in Japanese Buddhism. It is believed that he converted his father, Emperor Yōmei, to Buddhism and oversaw the translation of Buddhist scriptures into the Japanese language.

Cultural Significance

This shrine is not directly related to Shinto kami. However, the region has its own unique Kami and traditions. The nearby town hosts an annual festival celebrating the legendary 'White Peony' blossom, which is said to have bloomed on the grounds of this temple during a famine in 1671.
