History
Rurikoji, located in Suwa, Fujimi City, is a beautiful temple that, as its name suggests, seems to emit a lapis lazuli-colored brilliance. I have not yet visited this temple, but I have heard that it offers benefits for recovery from illness and longevity. Placing oneself in the quiet precincts is likely to bring a refreshing feeling of having one's mind cleansed. The temple's history and Buddhist statues must surely offer deep inspiration to visitors. The goshuin will likely allow one to feel the mystical power that such a temple possesses.
