History
Dainichizan Seikoji is located in Ishikawa, Uruma, a sacred site that, though a Buddhist temple, transmits the legacy of shinbutsu-shugo (syncretic practice of Shinto and Buddhism) to the present day. With Dainichi Nyorai as its principal object of worship, the entire mountain has been revered as a spiritual center. Long situated in mountains surrounded by Okinawa's rich nature, it has been a spiritual support for people. Through the compassionate divine protection of Dainichi Nyorai, it brings peace to the hearts of visitors. It is a precious spiritual center where one can leave daily life behind and purify the mind in a tranquil environment.
