Temples with many rare statues

Original Text

It is a temple of the Soto sect designated as the 7th Chichibu Kannon Sacred Ground. The precincts have a wide and calm atmosphere, and there is a large main hall in front of it, which is said to have been designed by Hiraga Gennai, but the entrance is a unique structure with a left side. Toyokawa Inari in the precincts has the benefits of family safety and prosperity of business, as well as the characteristic stone pillars in front of the mountain gate, Ebisu / Daikokuten, stone statues derived from Ushifushido, Kannon statues, etc. It is a temple with many rare statues .

If you walk from Fudasho No.5, you will feel like you are returning from Fudasho No.6.

I went around the Chichibu Fudasho on foot. If you walk from the direction of Fudasho No. 5, you will feel like you are returning from Fudasho No. 6. It is a large and magnificent temple with a mountain gate. The façade of the main hall is asymmetrical and interesting. I could see Mt. Takeko from the grave in the back.

It is the seventh temple of the 34th temple of Chichibu Kannon Sacred Ground.

It is about a five-minute walk from Bounji Temple in the 6th Fudasho. You can see the main hall, which is called Do 々, in the back of the mountain gate, but it is said to have been designed by Gennai Hiraga. The Bounji Temple at the 6th Fudasho was a small main hall, so the main hall of Hochoji Temple looks unavoidably large. It is a rare structure that there is a Kannon-do in the main hall, and the eleven-faced Kannon statue of the principal image is enshrined in the Kannon-do. The Bounji Temple at the 6th Fudasho was a small main hall, so the main hall of Hochoji Temple looks unavoidably large.

The parking lot was also large and a magnificent temple

There is no plan to see what the remaining 17 places will be.
