History

Like pure water in the Shimizu district of Minamietszen, this temple embodies its name—Joy Temple. Many pilgrims have come here to release their burdens and rediscover the essence of happiness. Wrapped in the warm light that mirrors Buddha's gentle smile, visitors find themselves contemplating the true sources of joy. Through generations, gratitude flows through these halls, and the temple continues to shine quietly with meaning.
