History

Gokoku-in, situated in Miyanaka, Kashima, has long eased the spiritual burdens of people as the Yakuyoke Fudo Son, protector against misfortune. The divine power to cleanse afflictions and invoke new fortune concentrates here with singular intensity. Throughout the ages I have observed, I have witnessed countless moments when people step from darkness into light, freed from the weight of their adversities.
