History
A venerable temple nestled in the northern reaches of Okkazaki, established by a devoted practitioner during the Kamakura period. For centuries, it has served as a rigorous training ground welcoming seekers of the path. Enshrining Amitabha Buddha as its principal deity, countless devotees have found their delusions dispelled and their spiritual direction clarified through its sacred power. The cherry blossoms that grace the temple grounds each spring seem to purify the hearts of all visitors.
