History
Ryūhōji is a temple quietly nestled in the nature-rich mountains of Hadano. It is a place like a hidden retreat, with refreshing air and the pleasant chirping of birds. It is said that this temple has gathered people's faith in this land since ancient times, and many wishes have been granted. The Buddha enshrined in the main hall seems to bestow compassion upon visitors and grant them peace of mind. Spending time in quiet prayer in this silent space should help heal the fatigue of daily life.
