History
The Amitabha Buddha enshrined deep within Amida-in has been central to belief in ancient Japan. Across the centuries I have watched, countless pilgrims visiting this place found salvation of their hearts. This hermitage standing quietly in Koriyama continues to serve as a beacon for those seeking deliverance from worldly suffering.
