History

Hotokuji, enshrined in the sacred Kiyomizu district, has radiated the light of virtue since ancient times. Surrounded by the noble temples of Higashiyama, it continues to kindle the light of treasure in the hearts of practitioners. I have faithfully witnessed the blessings of this sacred place.
