OVERVIEW

Founded in 1857 (Ansei 4), this Soto Zen temple is rooted in this port town. It enshrines the Migawari-Jizo (Scapegoat Jizo Bodhisattva), deeply connected to the sea and fishing industry, and has been cherished by the local population. Zazen (zen meditation) in this tranquil space is a time to focus your mind on just one thing. Enjoy a simple yet enriching travel experience, where you can feel the “space” and “emptiness” that Japan has valued, while attuning yourself through your five senses.
