History

Hōbenji is a temple quietly nestled in the lush green land of Tōkaichiba. For a long time, it has been known for its benefits in academic success and prayers for passing exams, attracting many students. In the serene precincts, I also diligently devoted myself to studying in the past. The Buddhist statues, evoking a sense of history, seem to soothe the hearts of visitors.
