History
I shall speak of Tōgakuin, which quietly stands in Miyamae-ku, Kawasaki. This temple is said to bring blessings for good luck and fortune, family safety, and recovery from illness. It is a place that has been cherished by local people since ancient times, where quiet prayers have been offered. I, too, am sometimes drawn to its calm atmosphere and visit. The principal image is Amida Nyorai, who enfolds people with its compassionate form. The tranquil space surrounded by nature is perfect for calming one's mind. This white fox also cherishes its pure air.
