History
Standing quietly south of Fuji, this temple embodies lotus teachings. Through centuries of witness, visitors' prayers have purified hearts just as the lotus blooms pure from mud. This temple's teachings and prayers for the Western Pure Land merge into one, wrapping all in compassion's light. Even now, many hearts recover purity here, illuminated by hope's renewed glow.
