History
Hidden in the deep mountains of Tsukigase, Shinfuku-ji has been quietly preserved as a sacred training ground since ancient times. Pilgrims who ascend the mountain path purify body and mind, praying for longevity and happiness before the Buddha. Cradled in nature's profound embrace, this place is where the transience of life and eternal truths intersect, offering profound spiritual insight.
