History
True to its name, Manganji is a temple for wish fulfillment where all desires are satisfied. Standing in Okazaki, protected by the verdure of Hosshouji, it has received countless wishes of pilgrims. We learned here that both small and great wishes are equally noble. What matters is not the size of the wish but the strength of heart that sustains it. Wish fulfillment is the achievement of the heart.
