History
The Renkuji that I know is nestled in the verdant area of Maeda-cho, Totsuka Ward, Yokohama City. As a temple of the Nichiren sect, it conveys the teachings of its founder, Nichiren Daishonin, to the present day. For a long time, it has been believed to offer benefits for good health, traffic safety, and good fortune, attracting many visitors. It is a good place to offer daily gratitude while listening to the quiet chanting in the peaceful precincts. You can feel the gentle passage of time.
