History
Maebashi Yakuyoke Daishi Renkai-in is a historic temple in Maebashi that attracts faith for exorcism. The principal image, Kobo Daishi, is said to ward off calamities and bring happiness to people. I was moved by the solemn atmosphere of this temple and the earnest prayers of those visiting for exorcism. It is an important place not only for those entering their unlucky years but also for people who wish for protection from misfortune on a daily basis. It is believed to be efficacious for various blessings, including family safety and good fortune.
