Shrine and temple tour

Original Text

Shojoji Temple is a temple of the Jodo sect located about ５ minutes walk from Gofukucho Subway Station. I visited early in April, but unfortunately the mountain gate was closed. It is a worship in front of the mountain gate. This temple is said to have been founded during the Meio era (1492-1501). The area is a spot where temples are gathered, so it is recommended for those who are interested in shrines and temples.
