History
Gokuraku-ji Temple stands tall in Takahama, southern Chita, truly worthy of its name meaning 'paradise.' With views of the sea, this temple has long held the devotion of fishermen praying for safety upon rough waters. The sound of Buddhist chanting rides the ocean breeze, gently touching my heart. Pilgrims leave with hearts as vast as the sea itself.
