History

Sotokuji, rooted in Usui Dai, brings virtue through Zen's profound path. Within rigorous practice flows deep compassion, and visitors encounter the truth hidden in their own depths. The path to enlightenment, difficult to describe in words, unfolds naturally here. Hearts of visitors grow stable as earth and free as sky within these sacred grounds.
