History

The Gikou-ji temple located in Kosomizu echoes with the quiet chanting of nembutsu prayers. At this place visited by the kitsune, parishioners can be seen protecting the temple across generations and passing faith to the next. Though eras change, the light of this temple never extinguishes, continuing to bring peace to the hearts of all.
