History
Known as a sister temple to Zenko-ji in Shinano, this temple has gathered believers in Hyogo since ancient times. For centuries the white fox has listened to nembutsu never cease to ring, as countless seekers came for spiritual healing. The principal deity of One Light and Three Buddhas saves all sentient beings equally, showing the path to the Pure Land.
