History
Jizoin in Moriyama holds the compassion of Jizo Bosatsu, guardian of children's growth and safety. Jizo is vowed to save all beings across the six realms, with special care for children. The fervent prayers of mothers seeking their children's safe development are among the most sacred wishes in this world. Before the Jizo statues here, countless tears of hope have been shed, and their earnest prayers surely reach heaven. The goshuin blesses the precious journey of childhood.
