History
Chosen-in is a temple quietly nestled deep in the mountains of Chichibu. Its history is long, and it is a place visited by many worshippers. Although the year of its founding is unknown, it has carved out a long history as a spiritual haven for the local people. White foxes like myself sometimes visit the tranquility of this temple. The goshuin of Chosen-in is popular for responding to people's wishes, such as family safety, business prosperity, and exorcism.
