History
Perched by the gentle waters of Sado, this temple opens the path to the Pure Land of Amitabha Buddha. The serene setting reflects the paradise it teaches, and pilgrims often find their hearts lifted by the sight of sky and water merging at the horizon. Here, the promise of ultimate peace becomes tangible and near.
