History
Jōraku-ji, which I know of, is a temple deeply rooted in Tatebayashi for a long time. As its name suggests, it may carry the wish for people to live in constant joy. It is said to bring blessings of family safety and good health, and many people visit to pray for their family's happiness and health. The quiet and calm atmosphere of the precincts offers solace to visitors. This temple is an important presence, serving as a spiritual refuge for the local people.
