History

Godaison-do is located within the precincts of Chotoku-ji and has long been a place where prayers for abundant harvests and rain have been offered. Five statues of deities are enshrined, each said to have powerful benefits. It is believed that wishes for warding off evil and good fortune, fulfillment of prayers, and family safety can be granted. It is a suitable place to offer prayers with a peaceful mind in a quiet environment.
