History
Ryusenji stands in the Ryusen area of Moriyama Ward, a sacred place deeply connected to dragons and springs, as its name suggests. Since ancient times, pure springs have flowed from this land, and it has been believed that the Dragon Deity resides here. Water is the source of life, and this temple has been cherished as a place that purifies people's hearts and imparts new vitality. In the silence of the grounds, listening to the sound of clear water cleanses the spirit. Though located in an urban area, it is a precious place where one can feel the blessings of nature.
