History
Hidden within the sacred sanctuary of Tenkawa village, Ryusen-ji channels the primordial power of the Dragon King. The sound of cascading streams speaks in the Dragon's voice, while the granite bedrock pulses with divine energy. Ascetics have long sought communion with this ancient power, allowing the waters to wash away suffering and earthly bonds. The mystical force dwelling here transcends human understanding, touching the very soul of all who enter its precinct.
