History
The place I visited this time is Myofukuji, located in Myoken-cho, Choshi City. This temple is a Nichiren Shu (Nichiren Buddhism) temple and has long gathered the faith of the local people. It is particularly said to bring benefits of good fortune, warding off bad luck, and family safety, attracting many worshippers. The shrine grounds have a quiet and calm atmosphere, creating a pleasant space. Myoken Bosatsu is enshrined, and people clasp their hands seeking its powerful protection. When exploring the city of Choshi, it is a place where one would want to stop by and spend a quiet moment.
