Josen-ji Temple

Chichibu Fudasho No.3 Josen-ji Temple

  • Chichibu Fudasho No.3 Josen-ji Temple

From Shinpukuji Temple, fudasho No.2, walk 2.5 km west and cross the Yamada Bridge over the Yokose River to reach Josenji Temple, fudasho No.3.
After passing through a peaceful countryside, you will see a temple complex.
The main deity is the Shokannon, a standing statue made of one tree and built in the Muromachi period (1336-1573).

The precincts of the temple are spread out over rice paddies in the foreground and mountains in the background.
The Kannon Hall to the left of the main hall was relocated in 1870 from the Yakushido Hall of Zofukuji Temple, which was located on the grounds of Chichibu Shrine.
The carving of a dragon on the ebikoryo on the kouhai(向拝) is a masterpiece.
In the main hall, there is a stone that is said to bring a child if you hold it in your arms and make a wish.
Near the main hall, there is a well called "Chomeisui," which is said to be effective against all illnesses.
