History

Named for the precious spring of pure water, Gyokusen-ji is situated where mountain streams flow through Shimomaki. Since ancient times, ascetics have come to this sacred place to purify body and spirit. Like the clear water that nourishes this land, the prayers offered here continue to cleanse and revive all who seek healing.
