History
Since 937, this ancient temple has preserved the Zen teachings of the Myoshinji school. Enveloped by Ookuwa's deep mountains, for over a thousand years it has brought silence and enlightenment to visitors' hearts. This sanctuary, which I have watched over, continues to shine as a symbol of Zen spirit.
