History
Jūshinuin is a Zen temple enveloped in Iwakura's silence. The settled-mind practice embodied in its name flows unbroken here, with practitioners seeking mental stability and peace. The cultivation of an unmoved and settled mind unfolds within these walls. Protected by Iwakura's nature, this temple eternally shines as a sanctuary for spiritual cultivation. The footprints of ancient masters are carved here, and their prayer's light continues to shine without ceasing.
