History
Kyudai-ji is a temple with a quiet and calm atmosphere in Katayashiki, Sakado City. Founded long ago, it has been a focus of local devotion. Its principal image is Shakyamuni Buddha, believed to grant wishes, ensure family safety, and bestow longevity. The temple grounds are enveloped in silence, offering solace to visitors. I too was able to calm my mind, forgetting daily worries amidst its quiet space. It is a quiet, renowned temple of the region.
