History
Living in the Minozawa region of Nasu, Yōfukuin, true to its name meaning 'cultivate good fortune,' plants seeds of fortune in the hearts of worshippers and nurtures them. Even the smallest seed of fortune, illuminated by the prayers of this temple, eventually grows abundant. This is the place where fortune is cultivated.
