This temple was founded in the Asuka period 726 by 行基菩薩 Gyoki Bosatsu.
宥光(明暦3年1657年寂)が中興開山したといいます
The main statue is 如意輪観音 Nyoirin Kannon, made by Gyoki.
The eyes of the statue were made of pure gold. One day a thief came to steal the gold, but he was killed by his own sword. The statue is therefore also called
medama no Kannon 眼玉の観音 Kannon with special eyes.

It is the oldest temple of the pilgrimage, but the main building was lost and is now quite modern.
In the compound is the grave of priest Zooyo 増譽法印 Zoyo Hoin (1032 - 1116).

Nr. 11 - Shoogonji 荘厳寺 Shogon-Ji

- 光明山 Komyozan 真言院 Shingon-In 荘厳寺 Shogon-Ji
渋谷区本町2-44-3 / 2 Chome-44-3 Honmachi, Shibuya ward
Shingon Sect : 室生寺派



This temple was founded in 1561 by 宥悦法印.
The main statue is 薬師如来 Yakushi Nyorai.
The temple also has a 不動堂 Hall for Fudo Myo-O, but the original building was lost in the Air Raids of 1945.
The statue of Fudo and Kobo Daishi could be saved however.
In the early Heian period
藤原秀郷 Fujiwara Hidesato came here to pray for victory against Taira no Masakado and to partake of the power of this statue. The statue had then been handed around in various temples in the Kanto area. But in 1714 the priest from 三光院 Sanko-In in Tama had the vision to bring it back to Shogon-Ji where it is kept to our day.
The statue of the standing Fudo was carved by 智證大師 Chisho Daishi, while he founded the temple 三井寺 Miidera
It is therefore also called 幡ヶ谷不動尊 Hatagaya Fudo Son.


- ご詠歌 - chant of the temple 藤井寺  Fujiidera in Shikoku :
色も香も無比中道の藤井寺 真如の波のたたぬ日もなし
Iro mo ka mo muhichūdō no Fujiidera shinyo no nami no tatanu hi mo nashi
