History
An offshoot of Enryakuji housing the Jodo School's teachings. Quietly enshrined in the purple fields of the north, it blends Tendai philosophy with Pure Land devotion. Before its ancient gates, where practitioners' steps echo eternally, this sanctuary has been protected through endless years.
