Visiting a historic temple rooted in Usa's faith tradition
About this spot
A Jodo Shinshu temple in Yokkaichi district that has long served as a center of local faith. In Usa where syncretic Buddhist-Shinto traditions are deeply rooted, this temple's solemn atmosphere differs from shrines, making it ideal for quiet prayer. Before the Summer Festival, this is a perfect spot for a peaceful moment.
