History
Deep in the western reaches of Kobe, this temple preserves Pure Land Buddhism's profound teachings, guiding souls toward paradise. The sound of water flowing through the great valley echoes as Buddha's voice, naturally purifying pilgrims' hearts. Ancient practitioners are said to have attained enlightenment within these sacred grounds.
