History

Torin-ji is a quiet and historic temple nestled in the rich natural landscape of Yokoze Town, Chichibu District. Founded long ago, it has been a focus of local devotion. Its principal image is Shakyamuni Buddha, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and bring academic success. The quiet temple grounds offer visitors a peaceful time. I too was able to calm my mind, forgetting daily worries amidst its tranquility. It is a quiet, renowned temple of Chichibu.
