History

This region is a place where Buddhist culture flourished since ancient times, and Eishōji has played its part in that history. The precincts, enveloped in the pure atmosphere of the mountains, calm the hearts of all who visit. As the name "Eishō" suggests, it has a history of gathering the faith of those wishing for lasting victory and success. It is a special place where one can spend quiet moments surrounded by nature and attain peace of mind.
