History
In Saga, Ukyo Ward, Myoyukuonji has taken root, shining as a beacon of Amitabha faith. It guides those who walk the path of nembutsu chanting, passing the light of devotion from ancient times to the present. Daily prayers accumulate here like water in a river, gradually drawing seekers toward the path of rebirth in the Pure Land.
