History

Byakko

Soton-ji is a temple with a quiet and calm atmosphere in Gobancho, Ageo City. Founded long ago, it has been a focus of local devotion. Its principal image is Shakyamuni Buddha, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and bring recovery from illness. The temple grounds are enveloped in silence, offering solace to visitors. I too was able to calm my mind, forgetting daily worries amidst its quiet space. It is a quiet, renowned temple of the region.
