History
Koenzoji stands in the quiet mountain valley of Hyogo-cho in Tanba City. Long serving as spiritual support for the local community, it is an ancient temple. Set in a naturally rich environment, it has continued to transmit Buddhist teachings throughout the ages. Surrounded by beautiful nature throughout the four seasons, its autumn foliage particularly soothes the hearts of visitors. Within the serene grounds, one can forget the bustle of daily life and calm the mind. It continues to be carefully preserved as the center of community faith.
