History
Nidenji has been rooted in this land since ancient times, receiving the prayers of many people. The quiet precincts possess a unique charm befitting an old temple, offering solace to visitors. It is said that the principal image of Buddha is compassionate and listens to people's troubles. I too often ponder amidst the tranquility of this temple. It is no exaggeration to say that the history of Nidenji has walked hand in hand with the history of this land. It will continue to guide many people in the future.
