History
Jokei-ji is known since ancient times as a practice hall for devotees seeking to answer Amitabha Buddha's vow through recitation. This place I have watched has become a source of light guiding hearts toward the Pure Land within the quiet of Doseniji-machi. This ancient temple resonating with the sound of Buddha-recitation continues to welcome countless seekers of Pure Land attainment.
