History
Ryujuin is enshrined in Kokubu, Ichikawa. In the ancient stories we know, the dragon is a mystical being governing water and fortune. Those visiting this temple seek to gain a dragon-like flexibility combined with strength. Across a thousand years, the dragon's power remains at this sacred place, continuing to bring vitality and purity to all hearts. Ever flowing like water, sometimes fierce, always protecting—such is the dragon's true nature.
