History

Byakko

I, the white fox, present Chokozan Hosenji Temple, an ancient sanctuary that has embraced people's wishes across the ages in this tranquil realm. I often enjoy sunbathing in these deep mountain reaches, you know. This temple, where Soto Zen teachings flow, offers true solace to those seeking inner peace. The principal deity, Kannon Bodhisattva, watches over visitors with compassionate grace, healing troubled hearts. The temple grounds flourish with seasonal blooms, particularly the magnificent spring cherry blossoms and autumn foliage. Away from urban noise, one can breathe pure mountain air while experiencing sutra copying and Zen meditation, finding precious moments for self-reflection. At Hosenji Temple, let your daily burdens fade in this embracing silence. I too find myself enchanted by the profound tranquility of this sacred place, indeed.
