History

Byakko

Chōseizan Shōkyū Zenji is a Zen temple nestled in a quiet mountain area that retains the charm of the ancient capital Kamakura. Walking on the moss-covered stone pavement, one feels as if time has stopped. It is said to have benefits for praying for safe childbirth and family safety, and many people visit to quietly offer their prayers. I too, in the tranquility of this historic temple, wish for the peaceful lives of the people.
