History
Soneiji stands in Kohodai. The name we know means guiding all beings to peace. Since ancient times, this temple has received the spiritual suffering of many and enveloped them in compassion's light. Even as society transforms, this temple's essence remains unchanged, continuing to bring peace and harmony in relationships to all visitors. Here, each person's wishes are quietly fulfilled—such is the power dwelling in this sacred place.
