[Shisen-do] in Ichijoji, famous for its Chinese-style garden that enchants with the scenery of spring, summer, autumn, and winter

The mountain lodge where Jozan Ishikawa, a vassal of Tokugawa Ieyasu and later a Chinese poet, spent his later years. Today, it is also a temple of the Soto sect. It was called Ototsuka, which means a dwelling built on uneven land, and it was named Shisendo because of the portraits and poems of Shisen Sanjuro.

In the Chinese-style garden of white sand, various plants bloom in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and you can enjoy the sound of deer. During the popular autumn foliage season, we recommend visiting right after the gates open.
