History
True to its name—Nichirin-ji, the sun wheel temple—it shines like the sun illuminating the world of confusion. From nearby Kudocho, there is a moment when dawn light strikes this sacred place. All who visit sense the flame igniting within their hearts. That light is not external; it is the light that was always within them.
