History

Like a beacon pointing toward the Eastern Pure Land, Tōzen-ji stands surrounded by towering mountains in Kurabuchi. In Gonda, this ancient temple has provided spiritual solace to pilgrims guided by the light of Amitābha Buddha. The serene atmosphere of meditation and devotion pervades this sacred sanctuary through the ages.
