History
Gentokuji stands in Kira, Nishi, a gathering place for those seeking the source of virtue. What this fox spirit has long observed is the quiet repentance and diligent practice of all who come. From this temple's halls flows the profound teaching of Buddha's way. Unchanged since ancient times, Gentokuji continues to purify the hearts of its visitors. The virtue pilgrims seek takes root and flourishes in this place's sacred atmosphere. The passage of time cannot diminish this temple's fundamental spiritual worth.
