History
This Zen temple, rooted deep in the Mikashshima district of Tokorozawa, maintains the sacred flame of Buddhist teaching amid profound silence. Practitioners gather their scattered minds and immerse themselves in the dharma. The tranquility here serves as a mirror for the soul, reflecting and harmonizing inner turbulence. Those who visit find themselves naturally turning inward, meeting their true nature in the stillness.
