A recommendation from monk Join

You can feel you are in the great nature of Japan at Ryozen Kannon. The great statue is not as famous or as old as the ones of Nara city or Kamakura city, but it is located where Ungoji temple (which often appears on Noh plays) used to be, so naturally it has become a power spot. Ryozen Kannon Shyakyo hall and Zazen hall are simple and not overly decorative, so you can feel the essence of Zen.
