History
Quietly situated in Sakae, Tsu, this temple known as Hatsumaji maintains the pure teachings of Pure Land Buddhism. True to its name, Renkouuin attracts those seeking the purity of the lotus flower. Families seeking stronger bonds and those wishing to cleanse their hearts gather here. Just as the lotus rises pure and white from muddy waters, visitors find renewal and purification through the Buddha's teachings within these sacred halls.
