History
Tankō'in is a temple in a quiet and pure environment surrounded by the mountains of Hadano. This temple has been a spiritual refuge for people since ancient times and is said to grant wishes that are close to daily life, such as fulfillment of wishes, academic success, and family safety. By quietly reciting one's wishes in the nature-rich precincts, one can receive the blessings of the Buddha. It is also good to quietly reflect on one's own future amidst the tranquility.
