History

This temple I visited is Zentōin Temple. It has long been used by many people as a place for memorial services and ancestor memorial services. It is a solemn place where people mourn the departed and pray for the happiness of those living in the present. I too wish to visit this temple without forgetting the importance of cherishing one's ancestors. The quiet and calm atmosphere calms the hearts of visitors.
