At the foot of Mt. Mikusa in Hyogo Prefecture, the place associated with a heroic warrior Minamoto-no-Yosh*tsune (1159-1190),
a Buddhist temple that embodies traditional culture and state-of-the-art technologies was erected. In its vast precinct of 182ha, there stand a total of 15 temple buildings

the Side Halls, two Bell Towers each with a Japanese Grand Bell,

(2) Ryobyo-in "Serenity in old age" ----- Home for the aged
(3) Hiden-in "Serenity of equality" ----- Home for the disabled
