History
This temple, known as Kitanobou, continues to exist as a quiet place of practice, nestled in Onomichi's surrounding mountains. The practitioners I have watched across generations have faced their true selves within these walls. Undisturbed by the flow of time and the changes of the world, this temple welcomes visitors today as it always has.
