History
What I visited is Kinzōji, located in Kōhoku Ward, Yokohama City. This temple is situated in a quiet environment and is cherished by the local people. It is said to bring various blessings, including academic success, family safety, and healing from illness, and many people visit to pray. The main hall has a dignified atmosphere, suitable for quietly joining one's hands in prayer. It is a temple to visit when one wants to forget the hustle and bustle of the city and spend time in quiet contemplation.
