History
In ancient times, divine light descended upon this mountain valley, and a pure sanctuary was established. The temple's name 'Raiko-ji' derives from the Buddha's descent to welcome believers into the Pure Land. Through centuries of devotion by faithful parishioners, this temple continues to transmit Buddhist teachings in serene silence.
