History
In times of old, this temple became a refuge for those seeking the Buddha's compassion. Standing on the hills of Akasaka, it has watched over countless seasons and answered the prayers of the faithful. When I visited, the silence and candlelight of the main hall remained unchanged. Transcending long ages, the radiance of Buddhist spirit lives here, a light that cannot be extinguished by any.
