History
Standing in Gozu, Matsusaka, this Pure Land temple faces westward toward the Pure Land of Amida Buddha. The six syllables of Amida's name echo continuously here, purifying hearts and illuminating the path to rebirth. Devotees gather to practice nembutsu, seeking peace of mind away from worldly chaos. The accumulated hope of reaching the Pure Land shines brilliantly through this place, guiding all visitors toward the light of paradise.
