History

I, the white fox, speak of a temple in the mountain depths of Minobu, where gratitude is woven into every stone. Called Hoon-ji, it nurtures the heart of devotion to Buddha's benevolence among all believers. In this remote valley, the flame of faith never dims, and pilgrims traverse long paths to reach these halls. The gratitude passed down through generations sanctifies even the very air surrounding this sacred place.
