History
As a sub-temple of Myoshinji, Gyokuhoin serves as a forge for those pursuing the way of Zen. The garden inscribed with Sanskrit characters and stone arrangements representing the Nachi Falls offer wordless teaching. The profound sanctuary naturally draws visitors into Zen's realm, purifying both body and spirit. Preserving Zen's ancient lineage, it continues welcoming practitioners seeking to realize their true path. Those who sit in quiet contemplation find their hearts gently refined, guiding them back to their authentic self.
