Pass through the mountain gate and enter the serene precincts surrounded by the sacred air accumulated for a thousand years. As you walk on the stone-paved path, each Buddha statue presents a charming view. In the shade of a large venerable tree, one embraces the pure intention and looks forward to the future.
Walking around the precincts, you will encounter countless stone Buddhas. Over hundreds of years, they have integrated with nature and their figures standing at the roots of trees exude a mysterious beauty. It seems like catching a glimpse of the Buddhist teaching—accepting everything as it is.
From the main hall, the shrine buildings exude a quietly accumulated dignity of time. Beyond the doors, there spreads a place of prayer, gently enveloping the visitors. Every corner of the building oozes the fine traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
Cold and transparent water wells up at the water place in the precincts. If you take a sip, it feels as if you are absorbing the energy of the earth throughout your body. Purify your mind and body with the water of Chozuya, and let the fresh forest air cleanse your mind and body.
