Shoogenji 松源寺 Shogen-Ji - Nakano, Takada
蒼龍山 Soryuzan 松源寺 Shogenji
Sarudera さる寺 "Monkey Temple"

中野区上高田1-27-3 / Tokyo, Nakano ward, Kami-Takada

The Kannon statue was carved by 弘法大師 Kobo Daishi.

Near the main gate is a stone statue of a monkey.
Legend tells us:
Once 徳門和尚 priest Tokumon wanted to board a river crossing boat, when a monkey came and held him back by his robes.
He could not board the boat, but then saw it sinking down.
Thanks to the monkey he had been saved.


The Zen priest Fusho 勅諡靈鑑普照禅師 founded the temple in the Chiyoda ward.
It was relocated to 牛込神楽坂 Ushigome Kagurazaka in 1613.
It became the clan temple under 戸田忠昌 Toda Tadamasa (1632 - 1699).
In 1909 it was relocated again to the present place.
It became Nr. 21 in the 通寺町 Kayoiteramachi and was a sub-temple of 妙心寺 Myoshin-Ji.
