History
Semuibutsu-ji is an ancient temple located in the mountains of Yuasa. True to its name meaning "granting fearlessness," it is a compassionate temple that removes people's fears and anxieties. With Kannon Bosatsu as its principal deity, it is particularly known for its benefits in warding off evil and healing illness. Its location in the quiet mountain valley makes it ideal for purifying one's heart away from the tumult of the secular world. Before Kannon, pilgrims can set down the burdens of their hearts and find peace and hope.
