If you walk for about a minute from Tateshina BASE, you will find the beautiful red Sanmon gate of Shokoji Temple.

Shokoji Temple is a temple whose main temple is Nara Yakushiji Temple, which was built in 1971 to pray for traffic safety.

The other day, on July 17th and 18th, the annual summer memorial service was held without any disruption.

At the Great Goma Memorial Service, the Manto Memorial Service, and the Grand Memorial Service, the prayers of the monks and attendees seemed to spread solemnly and powerfully from within the precincts.

The number of traffic accidents has decreased significantly compared to when the building was first built, but this year there has been an increase in the number of accidents compared to the previous year. I did.

Shokoji Temple has a beautiful and well-maintained temple grounds, thanks in part to the year-round volunteer activities of the Tateshina community.

When you come to Tateshina BASE, please visit the shrine and pray for safe travels.
