History
Butsumoji is a temple rooted in the land of Honjo. Its history is old, and it has gathered the faith of the local people. The quiet precincts are filled with tranquility and peace, calming the hearts of visitors. The name Butsumo may contain a wish for an existence like a mother who cherishes and nurtures all sentient beings. This temple has become an important presence supporting the hearts of people in the local community. I am also soothed by its compassionate atmosphere.
