History
The name Zenkōji carries among the oldest traditions in the Buddhist history I have witnessed. This temple in Hiroshima's west brings profound silence to visitors amid the city's bustle. Countless pilgrims have deepened their faith through this sanctuary's sacred presence, making their belief truly their own.
