History
Jokaku-ji has marked countless generations as an ancient Pure Land training hall cradled in deep mountain valleys. I have watched over the prayers of countless pilgrims who have come. This temple nestled in the hidden realm of Nishiyoshino is filled with the compassion of Amitabha Buddha, seeking to save all from the suffering of this world.
