History
This Chogen-ji is a temple quietly standing in the land of Asahi-ku, Yokohama City. It is an important place for healing people's hearts and mourning the deceased, such as memorial services, ancestor memorial services, and memorial services for unborn children. The serene atmosphere of the precincts offers quiet solace to visitors. I too am drawn to the pure atmosphere of this temple and visit often. It is a historic temple where the prayers of many people have been offered since ancient times.
