History
Geikōin, standing in the scenic area of Ōiso, is a temple that has gathered the faith of people since ancient times. It is said to listen to the earnest wishes of people, such as family safety, childbearing success, and recovery from illness, and bestow its blessings. As I listen to the chirping of birds in the quiet precincts, I spend a time of peace and comfort. In this place surrounded by nature, both mind and body are healed. The serene environment promotes a sense of well-being.
