History
Chokoji is a quiet and beautiful temple nestled in a naturally rich hilly area. Founded long ago, it has been cherished as a spiritual haven for the local community. Flowers bloom in profusion within the precincts throughout the seasons, delighting the eyes of visitors. The principal image of Buddha is said to have the power to bring business prosperity and academic success. I quite like the pure air and the peaceful time at this temple. Chokoji will continue to offer peace and hope to many people in the future.
