Sooji Ji 総持寺 Soji-Ji, Sojiji - Nishiarai Daishi
東京都区西新井1−15−1, Tokyo Adachi ward

This temple was founded by Kobo Daishi when he travelled in the Kanto area.
He carved the main statue, a Kannon with 11 heads, and prayed to it for 21 days. Then a dried-out well began to bring water again and the farmers nearby were saved from drought. This well is now at the western side of the hall 西新井 "new well in the west", hence the name.

The temple sells amulets for many situations.
