About Sōji-ji
Sōji-ji is one of the two daihonzan, or head temples, of Zen Buddhism's Sōtō school; the other is Eihei-ji in Fukui Prefecture. It stands in Tsurumi, a district of the port city of Yokohama, where it has about twelve buildings, one of them designed by the architect Itō Chūta. Fodor's calls it one of Japan's largest and busiest Buddhist institutions.
The temple's history begins in 740, when it was a Shingon Buddhist temple called Morooka-dera, founded by Gyōki in Noto and at that time a small chapel inside the grounds of the Morooka Hiko Jinja shrine. In 1321 Keizan, later honored as Taiso Jōsai Daishi, took over the former temple and changed it into a Sōtō temple, Shogakuzan Sōji-ji, thanks to the patronage and support of Emperor Go-Daigo.
A fire destroyed the temple in 1898. It was rebuilt over several years and reopened in 1911 at its present site in Tsurumi, Yokohama, while the father temple, Sōji-ji-soin, was built at Noto for monks in training. The Noto temple was badly damaged in the 2007 Noto earthquake. The core of the Yokohama compound is made up of seven structures, including a sanmon gate built in 1969.
