History

Reverberating with the sound of accumulated treasures, Hōshaku-ji stands quietly in Kanra as an ancient temple of blessings. Generations of pilgrims have come to accumulate good fortune, their prayers rising heavenward. The deities enshrined here govern the gathering of blessings and the manifestation of prosperity for all who worship with sincere hearts.
