History
This ancient temple stands in Ako, a town famous for salt production, following the gentle teachings of Pure Land Buddhism. Walking alongside the region's storied past, it quietly welcomes all who seek spiritual purity and enlightenment. The light of Amitabha Buddha's compassion illuminates this sacred space, guiding souls toward paradise through the continuous chanting of the nembutsu.
