History
Chofuku-ji is a temple located in Shobu-machi, Kuki City, and has been loved by the local people for a long time. As far as I know, this temple is said to offer benefits for family safety and good health, attracting many worshippers. The quiet and calm precincts likely provide solace to visitors. Within the precincts, there are Buddhist statues and gardens that evoke a sense of history, making it enjoyable to stroll around. The goshuin, containing the temple's history and the wishes of the people, are precious to cherish as a memento of one's visit.
