History
Jizo-in, an ancient hermitage enveloped in the profound compassion of Jizo Bodhisattva, has gathered faith across generations. This place I have watched has become a beacon of the Bodhisattva's light, protecting children and guiding travelers within the quiet of Naka-machi. This ground filled with Jizo's vow to save all suffering beings continues to bring peace to countless pilgrims.
