Jionji

Jionji stands in the beautiful townscape of Gujo Hachiman and, true to its name, is an ancient temple that brings compassionate blessings. One can worship with a calm heart while listening to the murmur of the clear Yoshida River. For a long time, it has been a source of spiritual support for the people of this region, and has been cherished especially as a place of prayer for child-rearing and deepening family bonds. Fitting for the land of Gujo Odori, it is also a warm place that forges connections between people.
