History

Chuzen-ji is an ancient temple located in the Maeyama district of Ueda, possessing a long history as a sacred place of mountain faith. Along with Zenkoku-ji, it has served as a central hub of Buddhist culture in this region. Within its quiet mountain setting, practitioners have accumulated severe training, and many people have visited seeking peace of mind. Within the grounds surrounded by Shinshu's beautiful nature, one can spend leisure time feeling the passage of the seasons. As an ancient source of spiritual support for local people, it is a warm temple.
