History
Myōhōji, a historical site of the Nichiren sect, is a venerable temple with a long history. The ancient trees standing in the tranquil precincts seem to speak of the passage of time. Many believers visit to pray for daily safety and to ward off misfortune. I too, while feeling the weight of this history, wish for the healthy lives of the people.
