History
Perched at the summit of Mount Tsukuba, this great hall has served as a spiritual sanctuary for ascetics and practitioners of mountain mysticism. Standing at the boundary between heaven and earth, it seems to offer stairs to the heavens. Its rigorous spiritual discipline and compassionate heart continue to polish souls, purify body and mind, and open paths to spiritual transformation.
