History
True to its name meaning cultivated practice, this place stands quietly in Maebashi as a site for refining spirit and body. Those undergoing rigorous training face their weaknesses here and advance step by step. This training temple, under my eternal watch, remains filled with pure atmosphere and receives the determination of all who practice.
