History
Itoku-in, harboring the power of ancient practice, stands quietly enshrined in the land of Asuka. This place I have watched has become a sanctuary within the quiet of Oso, awakening inner strength in all who visit. This ground layered with ancient prayers continues to serve as a training hall for those seeking to forge their bodies and spirits.
