History
The Grand Hall of Chokokuji Honbo has welcomed countless pilgrims since ancient times as a sacred space filled with the compassion of Avalokiteshvara. The gentle visage of the Eleven-Faced Kannon that I have witnessed brings deep peace to the hearts of all who visit. The power of prayers flowing through this ancient temple continues to save many from suffering.
