History

Eikoji, dwelling in Ozaki, Koga, symbolizes divine blessings that bloom as brilliantly as the peony flowers honored in its alternative name, Botan Fudo Son. Like the spring peonies, the beauty of this temple's divine grace continues to unfold. I have witnessed countless times how those seeking to overcome adversity come here to bloom with new fortune and transformed destiny.
