History
Quietly standing in Hanawa, Kitaibaraki, this temple has long been known as a place where many purify their hearts. I have visited countless times and listened to the clear water's music, washing away the dust of my heart. Even those who bear heavy karma can lighten their burden upon coming to this place. When the Buddha's compassion and this place's purity meet, the purification of body and mind is achieved.
