History
In the mountains of Shizuoka, in Kutsutani, stands this temple of pure assistance. What I sense here is the crystallization of pure prayers accumulated by generations of practitioners. Together with the breath of the mountains, it sharpens people's hearts and guides them toward the Buddha's way, a practice that continues unbroken to this day.
