History

This Zen temple, bearing the name of national peace, stands in Hiroshima's west as a sanctuary for countless practitioners I have observed. Zen teaching is stern yet compassionate, and within this temple the balance is perfectly maintained. Visitors confront themselves thoroughly here, ultimately finding liberation of heart.
