Nanzoin

Nanzoin is said to have been founded by the priest Tsurin-no-hō on the site where Zaihara Gyōhei is said to have lived (near Honjo Koume-cho). In the 11th year of Genroku (1698), it moved to Azumabashi 3-chome, Sumida-ku. Damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was moved to the ruins of Shotokuji Temple (current location), which had been abandoned.
