History

This temple, named Shotsu-ji, is revered as a place where sacred paths connect. Standing in Sakashita of Utazu, this temple has functioned as a holy passage through which pilgrims unite their hearts with heaven and earth. I myself sometimes stand in this sacred passageway to feel the connection between people and the divine.
