History

Genko-ji Temple, standing in Kamo of Kizu-kawa, has served as a place of spiritual practice in the quietude of mountain villages since ancient times. The light I perceive from this temple has purified many practitioners' hearts and continues to spread Buddhist teachings throughout the region. Its radiance continues to reach the hearts of believers today.
