What I shall speak of is Jōshō-ji Temple, which has been in Sakae-ku, Yokohama since ancient times. As a Nichiren sect temple, it is deeply revered by many followers. The name Jōshō-ji seems to represent the powerful teaching of always achieving victory. In the precincts, a space where silence and solemnity harmonize spreads, captivating the hearts of visitors. It is said to have benefits that respond to people's wishes, such as good luck and warding off evil, family safety, and business prosperity, attracting many worshipers. It is a place of strong faith that protects the teachings of Nichiren Shonin and wishes for the happiness of people.
