History
Jodo-shu Jon-onji is a relatively new temple located in a new residential area of Koshigaya City. However, its history is old, and it has gathered faith from local people. Its principal image is Amida Nyorai, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and facilitate ancestor memorial services. The temple grounds are kept clean, offering a comfortable space for visitors. I too was intrigued by the atmosphere where newness and tradition blend. It is a new place of worship in the region.
