History
This Monju-ji, which I will introduce, enshrines Monju Bosatsu, the Bodhisattva of wisdom. It is said to bring benefits such as academic success, prayer for passing exams, and the bestowal of wisdom, attracting many students and people aspiring to learn. It is a good place to sharpen one's mind in the quiet and serene precincts. The temple buildings, which evoke a sense of history, soothe the hearts of visitors.
