Kansenji Temple

Kansenji (観泉寺) is a Soto Zen temple which is a 14-minute walk from Seibu Shinjuku Line Kami-Igusa Station.
It was established in 1597, and its precincts are beautifully maintained.

Hondo, or the main hall, which enshrines Gautama Buddha, was erected in 1982.

Kannondo, dedicated to Kannon Bosatsu, was relocated here in 1790.

This pond was created in the 2010s.

If you walk toward south for 11 minutes from here, there is Ogikubo Hachiman Shrine. If you go west for 12 minutes, there stands Igusa Hachimangu Shrine. If you head south, 11 minutes of walk will take you to Ogikubo Hachiman Shrine.
