Erected at its present site in 1636, over two hundred years have elapsed since
the last restoration work was conducted on the Goeido (Founder’s Hall).
The restoration that was completed earlier this year began ten years ago on January
16, 1999. To mark its completion, services were held on April 1 and 2 in the
newly-restored hall.
