Chichibu Fudasho No.15 Shorin-ji Temple
Shorinji Temple, Fudasho No.15, is a temple with a long history.
Originally Zofukuji Temple, located near Chichibu Shrine, was closed down and Shorinji Temple, which was relocated from Yanagishima in the city, took over the temple.
The temple's main hall is a fireproof building painted in lacquer, and the Kannon-do hall is an unusual Western-style structure. In the precincts of the temple are the graves and monuments of police officers who died in the Chichibu Incident.
