History
Seizenji is a temple nestled in the quiet mountain valleys of Chichibu. Its history is old, and it has been cherished by the local people. It is said to offer blessings that cherish family and ancestors, such as family safety, recovery from illness, and ancestral memorial services. Being in the peaceful precincts makes one feel as if their heart is being cleansed. I, too, would like to quietly offer my prayers here.
