History
Ryuzanin is an old temple in the land of Ageo. Its history is old, and it has gathered the faith of the local people. The quiet precincts calm the hearts of visitors and make them forget the hustle and bustle of daily life. The name Ryūzan may contain a wish for a majestic mountain where dragons reside, that is, powerful protection. This temple has become an important place for local people to find peace of mind. I also visit its serene space often.
