History
This is the origin of a temple that teaches the repayment of grace. In Ogaki, this temple has long transmitted ancient teachings and cultivated the heart to remember grace and return it. To be grateful for the grace of parents, the teachings of mentors, and the support of society, and to return that grace to the next generation—such sincere hearts embody the great teaching of this temple. Even now, many pilgrims renew their grateful hearts at this temple and correct their paths.
