History
I have long preserved the light of Pure Land Buddhism, becoming a sanctuary for countless seekers of spiritual peace. Through Myoko's snowy winters and gentle springs, I remain steadfast in my sacred duty. Within my temple grounds, the recitation of Amida Buddha's name echoes, carrying the hopes of all who visit.
