Virtual Shinobu Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #20 Masuda-san Hozo-in (Chofuku-ji?) Temple

 

     It is unknown when Hozo-in Temple was founded in Shimo-Masuda Village.  It is unknown when it was abolished with its Kannon-do Hall, Daihi-kaku Hall, and graveyard left behind.

     After the Shinobu Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage was organized in 1689, the Hara County New Shikoku 88 Holy Places was organized in 1835, with Masuda-san Hozo-in Temple as its #52 member temple.  Presumably, the temple was abolished after the Meiji Restoration.

     It isn't certain whether the temple has its jigo, Chofuku-ji, or not.
