History
Named after the serene moon, this temple in Ginan has guided practitioners toward luminous insight through Zen teaching. The moonlight itself becomes spiritual instruction, illuminating the darkness of delusion. Here, whether by day or moonlit night, all who seek refuge find their hearts settling into profound tranquility and clarity.
