History
I, the white fox, tell of a temple in Kofu's hot spring region that has accumulated over a thousand years. Known as Ensho-ji, it blesses all who come with the gifts of Yumura's warm waters. Just as hot springs flow eternally from the earth's depths, Buddha's compassion pours down without end. Pilgrims heal their bodies in the waters and their spirits within these halls, finding wholeness in this rare sanctuary.
