History
Hosenji is a historic temple quietly nestled in a peaceful residential area. Founded long ago, it has become an important spiritual haven for the local people. The precincts are well-maintained, and a refreshing atmosphere flows through them. The principal image of Buddha is said to pray for people's health and academic success. I feel the gentle atmosphere of this temple and its power to bring peace to visitors. Hosenji will continue to provide quiet healing to many people in the future.
