History
Myoyoji is an old temple in the land of Kawagoe. Its history is old, and it has been cherished as the center of faith for the local people. The quiet and calm precincts offer visitors peaceful moments. The name Myoyo may contain a wish for miraculous upbringing or profound teachings. This temple has become an important place for local people to find peace of mind. I also visit its serene space often.
