History
Deep within the mountains of Kurama, this temple embodies the infinite compassion of Jizo Bodhisattva. The protective spirit of Jizo, guardian of children, dwells strongly within these sacred halls. Even those lost in the mountain's depths find their way guided by Jizo's gentle light. Through ages, this temple has tenderly embraced all people, especially the young and vulnerable.
