History
This Soganji is an ancient temple of the Tendai sect, and has long served as a spiritual refuge for the local people. With Fudo Myoo as its principal deity, it is said to bring blessings such as family safety, exorcism, and child-rearing prayers. In particular, the monthly market of Fudo Myoo on the 28th attracts many worshippers. Even I, a white fox, pray for the healthy lives of people in this tranquil temple.
