History
Nestled beneath Mount Hiei, this Tendai temple witnesses the sacred assembly's descent. As its name suggests, Kannon and Amitabha appear at the hour of death to welcome devoted souls to the Pure Land. Maintaining ancient yamabushi traditions, it remains a gateway to ultimate salvation for all true believers.
