History
This Jodo Shinshu temple nestles in the valleys of Koga, its sacred halls resonating with the voices of devotees chanting nenbutsu. Following the profound teachings of Shinran, it has become a beacon for those seeking salvation through faith in Amitabha Buddha. The temple's spiritual power flows like the nearby waterfall, cleansing hearts and guiding all toward enlightenment.
