Shōgen-ji (正眼寺) is a monastery of the Myoshin-ji branch of Japanese Rinzai School of Zen Buddhism in Minokamo, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. It was originally a place of practice of Kanzan Egen Zenji in 1330.

Shogenji’s post World-War II monastic life is described concretely with the highest quality of literature in the novel Mind to Mind (1999) by author Seikan Hasegawa.
