History
The Tatsuei-ji Temple, where I visit, is an old temple quietly nestled in Gontazaka, Hodogaya Ward. The sound of the bell echoing in the serene precincts heals the hearts of visitors. It is a place that has been loved by the local people for a long time and has attracted much faith. Surrounded by nature, in a peaceful environment, one can forget the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time with a calm heart.
