History
What I shall speak of is Goshin-ji Temple, which quietly stands in Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama. This temple has long been a spiritual haven for the local people and has gathered quiet devotion. The name Goshin-ji seems to represent the teaching of cherishing the mind of enlightenment. Stepping into the precincts, a purifying silence spreads, allowing one to forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. It is said to have benefits such as the fulfillment of all wishes, family safety, and traffic safety, attracting many worshipers. Ceremonies are also held, and as a temple rooted in the community, it continues to attract people's faith.
