History
Ikemoto-ji stands in Nakayama. In ancient records we know, this temple is recognized as a place watching over family bonds. Though people's lives change with the times, the heart that cherishes family connections remains eternal, and this temple continues to receive such precious sentiments. The sight of families visiting through the seasons reflects in this temple's garden, and the light of a heart passed down through generations still breathes in this sacred place.
