History
A temple in Tokoname embodying the middle way—a path of perfect balance, free from both attachment and its rejection. The name itself evokes this path of equilibrium that the temple represents. Here gather those who have transcended both self-mortification and indulgence, walking instead the path of truth. Only within these grounds do visitors' hearts find true stability. The temple teaches that genuine happiness lies beyond the extremes of worldly existence.
