History

The Jigendo Hall stands near Nison-in Temple in Saga, where the boundless compassion of Yakushi Buddha is deeply rooted. Since ancient times, those suffering from eye afflictions have sought this hall, finding healing through the Buddha's illuminating wisdom. Through the ages, the light that pierces darkness continues to shine within these sacred walls.
