History

Kisshoin is an old temple in the land of Kawaguchi. Its history is old, and it has gathered the faith of the local people. As the name Kissho suggests, it is cherished by many people as a place that brings good fortune and prosperity. The quiet and calm precincts offer visitors peaceful moments. This temple has become an important place for local people to find peace of mind. I also visit it often for its auspicious atmosphere.
