History

Chōon-ji is a historic temple nestled in the quiet environment of Asao Ward. Since its founding, it has a history of gathering faith from local people and becoming their spiritual anchor. The precincts are filled with pure air, calming the hearts of visitors. The history of Chōon-ji is intertwined with the peaceful life of this land, and it has likely received the prayers of many people. I also wish to spend time with a calm heart in its tranquility.
