History

A temple with Jizo Bodhisattva as its principal deity, gently saving children and those in suffering. Located in the blessed village of Hiragun, it stands under Jizo's compassionate gaze. Stone steps are lined with small prayer plaques, where parents' wishes and children's smiles intertwine in sacred communion.
