Listen to the silence
On the foot of Mount Ogura,
you will encounter the silence of Nison-in Temple.
True silence is not soundless.
Through the maple and cherry blossom lined approach,
awaits the forgotten sounds of silence.
The rustling of trees, chirping birds and flowing water.
Immerse yourself in the tranquil flow of time at Nison-in
and adore the timeless sounds of nature.
