Chokokuji

True to its name Chokokuji—temple of the Buddha realm—this ancient sanctuary guides souls toward paradise within Matsushiro's tranquil embrace. The deep faith in its sacred imagery pervades this temple; all who visit find profound peace. It has walked alongside Nagano's development through the centuries, continuously receiving the suffering of all beings with compassion. Every praying face this fox has witnessed has reflected the Buddha's infinite mercy.
