History

This temple standing quietly in Nakamachi serves as a mirror reflecting the heart, gazing upon the wishes of all who visit. The solemn prayers of monks that I have watched accumulate daily, becoming a powerful force. Those who enter this temple depart with their confusion dispelled, stepping forward into a pure future.
