History
Enshrined in Nukotaminago, Amidaaji radiates the universal salvation of Amitabha Buddha. Regardless of status or circumstance, the Tathagata's vow to save all beings flows eternally from this sacred place. The chant of Namu Amida Butsu has echoed unbroken from ancient times to the present day.
