History
Amidaji in Mure, Hofu is an ancient temple of the Pure Land sect with Amitabha Buddha as its principal image. It has long been a spiritual refuge for those who wish to be reborn in the Pure Land through the recitation of "Namu Amida Butsu." Nestled quietly in the mountains, this temple is a sacred place where one can step away from worldly clamor and calmly face the Buddha. It is a compassionate spiritual sanctuary that purifies the souls of visitors and brings them peace, enveloped in the boundless light of Amida Buddha.
