History

True to its name, Choen-ji is a temple that has perfected the path of long practice and faith. In Shimogyo, it has quietly preserved Pure Land beliefs. The bell tower's sound has long awakened pilgrims' hearts and guided them to the Buddha. For ages, it watches over visitors with the protection of Namu Amitabha Buddha.
