History
Chokoji is an old temple in the land of Hanno. Its history is old, and it has gathered the faith of the local people. The quiet precincts calm the hearts of visitors and make them forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The name Chōkō may contain a wish for long light, that is, everlasting blessings. This temple has become an important place for local people to find peace of mind. I also visit its serene space often.
