History
Joryuji is a quiet temple surrounded by greenery. Founded long ago, it has gathered the faith of the local people. The precincts are well-maintained, and a refreshing atmosphere flows through them. The principal image of Buddha is said to pray for people's family safety and recovery from illness. I feel the purifying power of this temple, like that of pure water. Joryuji will continue to offer peace and healing to many people in the future.
