History
This temple in eastern Hiroshima gathers those seeking an unwavering, solid heart like stone itself. True to its name meaning 'rock valley,' this sanctuary has guided countless practitioners along the unshakeable path of faith. I have spent countless years here, witnessing the purification of hearts through dedicated practice. Like stone itself, though silent, this temple's powerful presence continues to support all hearts eternally.
