History
Hoshakuji is an old temple in the land of Fukaya. Its history is old, and it has gathered the faith of the local people. The quiet precincts calm the hearts of visitors and make them forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The name Hōshaku may contain a wish for accumulated treasures, that is, the gathering of blessings and virtues. This temple has become an important place for local people to find peace of mind. I also visit its serene space often.
