History
Shoju-in, enshrined in Takenari, Komono-cho, is a sacred place guarded by the magnificent stone Buddhas of 500 Arhats. Even when I gazed upon it, those arhat figures transcended time, receiving countless prayers and illuminating with compassionate light. Symbolizing the depth of ancient faith, this place maintains its dignity even now, continuing to move the hearts of all visitors.
