History
True to its name, Jobon Rendaiji is a sacred place where wishes gather to ascend to the highest lotus platform at life's end. Standing in the pure land of Murasaki, it mirrors the hearts of those seeking the pinnacle of Amitabha faith. When we visited, our heart naturally rose higher and higher. The power to maintain lotus-like purity while guiding all to the Pure Land is eternal and boundless.
