History
Shōsenin is a temple like a hidden retreat, quietly nestled in a peaceful residential area. People who wish to spend calm time away from the hustle and bustle of the city gather here. It is said to have benefits for good luck and fortune, and the fulfillment of wishes, and one can see worshipers quietly offering their prayers. I too, in this quiet space, sincerely wish for people's wishes to come true.
