History
This ancient temple, named Kanno-ji, has grown in the divine field as its name suggests. For centuries, the prayers of pregnant women have gathered here, and the tears of mothers who felt the joy of receiving children have reached the Pure Land. Even I, without offspring, feel my heart stirred by the purity of such prayers.
