About this place
Sojiji Soin is a Soto Zen temple in Monzen, Monzen-machi, Wajima, Ishikawa Prefecture. Its mountain name is Shogakuzan. It is commonly called Nozan or Gakuzan. It was formerly Sojiji, the head temple of the Soto school. When the head temple's functions moved to Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, the new site became the "Head Temple Sojiji," and the Sojiji in Noto was renamed "Sojiji Soin" and treated as a branch temple.
