History

Nestled in Tsukiyono, Gakurin-ji stands as an ancient temple veiled in the spiritual energy of towering mountains. For centuries, mountain ascetics have chosen this sacred ground for their rigorous spiritual practices. The Buddha carved into the rock face remains a testament to the devotion of those who came before, and the whisper of deep forests still echoes prayers of old.
