History

Enshrined in Taga, Ide, Shinzoin—true to its name—holds the treasure of truth itself. Those entering this sacred place touch something fundamental. Ancient stone Buddhas bear the imprint of a thousand years of prayer, silently connecting past devotion with present seekers. It is a treasury of truth, awakening the deepest wishes that slumber in the heart.
