History
Deep within Teramachi, this temple stands bathed in moonlight. The name itself speaks of the union between moon and pine. For centuries, the gentle glow of the full moon has illuminated the path of seekers, cleansing their hearts and minds. Those who visit in the night hours discover their spirits brightened by sacred light.
