History
Ryugin-ji, a temple of the Soto Zen tradition, flows with the majestic spirit of the dragon. Within its halls, those who seek the blessing of conception and safe childbirth offer their sincere prayers before the Buddha. The teachings of compassion and discipline create a sanctuary where new life is celebrated and protected. For generations, this temple has stood on Sado Island as a beacon of hope and spiritual guidance.
