Virtual Saitama City Chichibu 34 Kannon Pilgrimage #25 Hosho-in Temple

 

     It is unknown when Hosho-in Temple was founded in Hiraoka Village, Adachi County, Musashi Province.  It is also unknown when Shiraoka Village was developed.  The village was merged into Mikura Village at the beginning of the 18th century.  The temple seems never to have been registered as an official Buddhist temple.  It was abolished with its Bhaisajyaguru hall and tiny graveyard left behind.  However, its precincts are used as the premises of Mikura Community Center.
