History
In Kanazawa's Honcho district stands a temple dedicated to the singular light of faith. Senko-ji's name teaches that by focusing the heart on light alone, we discover the Buddha's profound teaching. In life's long darkness, even a single ray of light prevents us from stumbling. All who visit this sacred place find that light burning ever brighter within their hearts. In the heart of Kanazawa, this ancient teaching of purifying light endures resplendent.
