History
Since the heyday of silver mining in Omori, this temple has offered solace to countless miners and their families. Rows of Arhat statues stand in solemn witness within the hall, their serene expressions conveying the eternal truths of impermanence and human longing. Though the gleam of silver has faded into history, the wisdom imparted here remains forever radiant.
