History
Where the Shinsengumi made their headquarters during the tumultuous end of the Edo period, Mibudera remains a witness to history and a place of unchanging prayer. The fierce gaze of Acalanatha pierces through delusion, helping visitors make firm decisions and find light within difficulty. The spiritual power of this place, which has weathered history's storms, continues to bring courage and hope to pilgrims.
