History
Shofuku-ji is a temple with a quiet presence located in Kaminota, Shirooka City. I have not yet visited, but I have heard that it offers benefits for family safety and physical well-being. It is likely a temple that has quietly watched over the lives of the local people and prayed for their health and safety. The precincts will likely calm the hearts of visitors and bring them a sense of peace. The goshuin, containing the temple's history and the wishes of the people, are precious to cherish as proof of one's visit. Shofuku-ji will likely continue to be a spiritual refuge for many people.
