History
Katsuda Kaikan is a facility built on the site where a temple called Seiko-ji once stood. While retaining traces of the ancient temple, it now serves modern needs. People gather here to pray for ancestral memorial services and to avert disaster while bringing fortune. In this place that evokes the weight of history, one should quietly join their hands in prayer, offering gratitude to the departed and prayers for the future.
