Shinagawa Attractions

Sengaku-ji Temple

Sengaku-ji Temple (泉岳寺) is the resting place of the 47 Ronin, a famous group of samurai who banded together to avenge their unfairly slain master. Having obtained the head of the offender, they brought it to this very temple and then committed ritual suicide. The story is told in Chūshingura, the best-known of all Kabuki plays. Nearest station is Sengakuji on the Toei Asakusa line.
