History
Jigenji Temple stands ancient and steadfast in Koka, enshrining the Merciful-Eyed Kannon who watches the world with compassion. Even I feel the light of that merciful gaze. Through dark times and confusion, this temple's Kannon remains ever watchful and unchanging. Where there is light, even the darkest path finds illumination.
