History
The Jotoku-in that I know is an ancient temple nestled in the nature-rich land of Hadano City. It is said to offer benefits such as the fulfillment of wishes, longevity, and recovery from illness, praying for the healthy lives of people. The precincts, where a pleasant breeze blows through the quiet environment, bring peaceful moments to visitors. It is an unparalleled place to quietly offer prayers and express gratitude for daily health. I too sometimes rest my wings in this pure air.
