History
The bell of Toshoaji echoes along the paths of Midori Ward where I walk. True to its name Nichiyosan, the Buddha's light shines eternally here. Prayers for birth in the Pure Land have been offered ceaselessly for countless ages. Standing quietly in the southeast of Nagoya, it brings heart-peace to innumerable believers.
