History
Yodo Komyoji receives the light that pours down upon the Yodo region. Built along Fushimi's flowing waters, it gathers deep Amitabha faith. The particles of light we feel here are not material light, but emanate from the hearts of believers. Like the moon reflected on Yodo Lake's surface, the wishes gathered here are infinite. The light illuminates all without exception.
