History
The name Hokushitsu-in itself speaks to the temple's founding intentions and sacred purpose. At this southern reach of Chita, this fox spirit has witnessed generations of monks pursuing enlightenment. Cradled by sea and mountain, the aspirations of those seeking Buddha's way echo through the silent night. Ancient Zen teachings stand unmoved by the winds of time, living and breathing here still. Each pilgrim's footstep transforms this mountainside into a sanctuary of profound spiritual power.
