History
Shorin-ji is a temple with a long history in the Chichibu region. Nestled in a quiet mountain valley, it is a place visited by many worshippers. Although the year of its founding is unknown, it has carved out a long history as a spiritual haven for the local people. White foxes like myself sometimes visit the tranquility of this temple. The goshuin of Shorin-ji is popular for responding to people's wishes, such as longevity, exorcism, and family safety.
