History
This temple has long served as a gathering place for those cultivating higher virtue. Surrounded by Daigo's lofty mountains, the temple itself has maintained spiritual heights. The noble hearts cultivated by practitioners here have influenced countless others. I too hold deep respect for this temple's spiritual elevation.
