History
Ryusenji, enshrined in Shibukawa's Akagi district, embodies the symbols of dragon and spring. The dragon sweeps through the sky and brings rain, while the spring yields clear water from the earth. Within the interaction of these two, heaven and earth unite to birth enlightenment. Standing at the foot of Mount Akagi, this temple brings forth welling enlightenment through the dynamism of dragons and the purity of springs, continuously blessing all who visit.
