History
Kongo-ji is an ancient temple situated in the Amano valley of Kawachinagano. This area has long been known as a sacred place and was also a holy site of Shugendo mountain asceticism. In the silence surrounded by deep mountains, many practitioners and pilgrims have sought peace of mind. The precincts, enveloped by beautiful nature changing with the seasons, purify the hearts of all who visit.
