History

Byakko

Hōchōji is a temple located in a quiet environment surrounded by the mountains of Chichibu. Its historic temple buildings provide a sense of peace to visitors. It is said to offer blessings that are close to daily life, such as family safety, good health, and traffic safety. It gathers the devout faith of the local people and quietly marks the passage of time. I, too, would like to spend my time peacefully in this calm atmosphere.
