History
North of Gifu Station, near Media Cosmos, this temple occupies a different temporal plane. Though modern city sounds surround it, those who step within find their hearts grow peacefully still. Remarkably, contemporary existence and ancient Buddhist teachings coexist here in perfect balance.
