History
Deep in the mountains of Kyoto-kita, Joshoukoji stands as a temple eternally illuminating the imperial way. As a sacred place receiving the prayers of the imperial household, I have long guarded the peace of nation and dynasty. In these deep mountains, light transcending time dwells eternal.
