History
A quiet hermitage in Fukuroi, standing peacefully. Known as a place to purify the heart like the clear waters of its name 'Gensenin,' pilgrims who pass through the gate find their minds gradually settling. Throughout my watch, many practitioners have devoted themselves to sincere spiritual cultivation here.
