History
Onban-ji is a temple located in the quiet rural area of Ora-machi. I was drawn to the simple and warm atmosphere of this temple. The principal image, Amida Nyorai, is said to save people from suffering and guide them to the Pure Land. It is deeply revered by the local people for blessings such as family safety, business prosperity, and exorcism. It is a perfect place for those who wish to calm their minds in a quiet environment. I was able to spend a peaceful time at this temple.
