History
What I speak of is Rurikoji, which quietly stands in the land of Atsugi. For a long time, this temple has been known for its blessings of recovery from illness, longevity, and good luck, and many prayers have been offered here. The sound of sutra chanting echoing in the tranquil precincts purifies the hearts of visitors and brings them peace. The history of this temple is a testament to its journey alongside the community, always wishing for people's health and happiness.
