History
Saikoji is a temple that has stood in the land of Chichibu for a long time. The sound of the bell echoing in the tranquil precincts heals the hearts of visitors. It is said that this temple offers blessings for family safety, exorcism, and academic achievement. It has gathered the faith of the local people and has a history passed down through generations. I, too, would like to purify my heart in this serene space.
