History
What I shall introduce is Tokuzen-ji, located in Hongō, Seya Ward, Yokohama City. This temple has etched its history over a long period, supported by the warm faith of the local people. It stands quietly amidst a peaceful residential area, offering tranquil moments to visitors. The Buddha watches over to fulfill wishes rooted in daily life, such as family safety, recovery from illness, and ancestral memorial. It is a comfortable space where one can worship with a refreshed feeling.
