History
Yousen-ji has been rooted in Higashicho of Kiryu since ancient times. The old teaching of nourishing and moistening body and spirit like a spring converges here. Watching the expressions of pilgrims change with the seasons, I have observed that those who visit always leave with peaceful hearts. Those seeking health, those desiring healing of body and mind, all gather here. Within these ancient walls, the wisdom of medicine and Buddhist compassion are merged and preserved. Your pilgrimage marks the beginning of spiritual nourishment.
