History
I visited Fukuju-ji, which is enveloped in silence. This is a temple that has long been a spiritual refuge for the local people. The main hall, nestled in the lush precincts, is filled with a serene atmosphere. Visitors forget the hustle and bustle of daily life, quietly clasp their hands, and engrave their wishes in their hearts. The history of this temple is old, and it has likely received the prayers of many people. I also like to calm my mind for a while in this quiet space. The gentle personality of the chief priest also contributes to soothing visitors.
