History
Within Yanai's landscape, this hermitage breathes as one with nature itself. The monks listen to the flowing river's song while seasons paint their eternal changes. Through such harmonious communion with the natural world, practitioners discover the deep peace that dwells within. The very air here seems to purify all who draw breath. In this sacred union of mountain, water, and human spirit, meditation bears true fruit.
