History

Hōsen-ji is a historic temple quietly nestled in the nature-rich hills of Tama Ward. It has gathered faith from local people since ancient times and has quietly marked its time. A peaceful time flows within the precincts, soothing the hearts of visitors. The history of Hōsen-ji is intertwined with the peaceful life of this land, and it has likely received the prayers of many people. I also wish to offer prayers with a calm heart in its tranquility.
