History

Genryu-ji in Terado-Mukaihata is revered as a symbol of the dragon's enlightenment. The dragon, connecting heaven and earth, bringing rain and water, is enshrined here as a sacred being. The dragon's mystical flowing wisdom brings flexibility and clarity to visitors' hearts, granting courage to surrender to life's currents. Under the dragon god's protection, this temple endures eternally.
