History
Rooted in this ancient village of Naka, this temple has endured through countless generations. The compassionate light of the principal Buddha has illuminated the hearts of pilgrims since time immemorial. As the protective guardian of the local people, this temple has walked alongside both joy and sorrow. The warmth of their devotion touches even my ancient spirit.
