History
A temple that breathes life in the town of Chiyodacho. Like its name Great Lotus, with the image of the vast lotus flower, it has been a place of broad compassion that embraces all people touched by worldly dust. Countless families have offered their prayers here. The bonds between spouses, the feelings between parent and child—all these are elevated to pure and noble form before this ancient hall. Though times change, the light here remains constant.
