History
Fukusen-ji is a temple rooted in the land of Takasaki. When I visited, I offered my greetings through a remote worship. This temple is said to be efficacious for exorcism, family safety, and good fortune, attracting many visitors for prayers. The quiet grounds are adorned with numerous ema (votive tablets) bearing the wishes of those who visit. Although I could not worship directly, I was able to feel its pure atmosphere. I look forward to the day when I can visit and worship directly again.
