History
Kouunji stands as an ancient temple on the grounds where I have walked. Through hundreds of years, it has guided seekers through Zen practice. Upon passing through the mountain gate, one encounters a serene garden. The accumulated prayers of monks have infused this place with spiritual energy. It remains a sanctuary of clarity and peace.
