History
In ancient times, when the teachings of Jodo Buddhism were transmitted from the east, a temple hall was erected in this place. According to the white fox's knowledge, many faithful believers visited, and the sounds of nembutsu prayers never ceased. The principal image of Amida Buddha watches over all sentient beings from the distant Pure Land. Even today, people come to this temple seeking inner peace within its serene light.
