History
This temple is Myojun-ji, located in Kaneta, Atsugi City. As a temple of the Nichiren sect, it gathers the faith of the local people. It is believed to offer benefits for child-rearing, matchmaking, and academic achievement, and is particularly revered by younger generations and those raising children. Although the precincts are modest, they are enveloped in a warm atmosphere. It is a suitable place to quietly offer prayers with wishes for daily life.
