History
Jōdoji is a temple that has been rooted in the land of Zama for a long time and has walked alongside the lives of the people. Ancient halls that evoke a sense of history stand in the quiet precincts, soothing the hearts of visitors. It is said to have benefits for family safety and the prosperity of descendants, and many people visit to quietly offer their prayers. I too, in the calm atmosphere of this peaceful temple, wish for the happiness of the people.
