History
This temple quietly stands in Takikawa's Ichino Sakamachi, serving as a meditation hall teaching Zen's mysteries. True to its intriguing name, it vigorously promotes Zen practice, with monks shedding tears in pursuit of enlightenment. I myself have been invited to this meditation hall many times.
