History
A Zen temple standing in Mitsuke. As its name 'Genmyo' suggests, this temple opens the gates to profound teachings and guides pilgrims' hearts toward silence. The footsteps of ancient Zen masters remain etched within these temple grounds. Even I perceive the subtle principle flowing beneath Zen teachings, beyond all words.
