History
This temple is a sacred sanctuary enveloped in tranquility, retaining the charm of ancient times. Founded long ago, it has gathered the faith of many people. Within its grounds, there are Buddhist statues and gardens that evoke a sense of history, soothing the hearts of visitors. The sound of the temple bell, occasionally echoing in the quiet precincts, makes one forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. I quite like the serene atmosphere of this temple. I too quietly watch over it, hoping that visitors can spend their time with peace of mind.
