Shōjō-ji is a historic Buddhist temple located in Kisarazu, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. The temple is renowned for its tranquil setting and beautiful traditional architecture. It is perhaps best known for its association with the famous Japanese nursery rhyme "Shōjōji no Tanuki Bayashi," which tells the whimsical tale of tanuki (racoon dogs) playing musical instruments. The temple grounds feature picturesque gardens, ancient trees, and a serene atmosphere that attracts visitors seeking peace and reflection.
