History

Byakko

Hōunji is a serene temple surrounded by the nature of Chichibu. The refreshing air and the verdant precincts offer healing to visitors. It is said to offer blessings cherished by the local people, such as family safety, business prosperity, and academic achievement. It is a temple that has been a spiritual haven for people for a long time. I, too, would like to have my heart cleansed in this pure land.
