In 850 years when the Jodo sect was founded, the number of temples of the Jodo sect spread to about 7,000 temples nationwide.Therefore, we have developed a dedicated app for visiting temples using a smartphone so that the general public can easily visit the Jodo sect temple.[Function introduction]■ Temple searchYou can search for Jodo sect temples by prefecture or category. (Registered temples will be updated and added from time to time.) In addition, you can check the history, photos, and detailed information of the temple as well as basic information such as the address and available dates in the temple details.■ Map functionYou can search for Jodo sect temples on the map. Since the map opens centering on the location information of your smartphone, you can quickly know the location of nearby temples.■ Record of worship (stamp function)When you visit a temple, you can make a "record of worship" in the precincts of your smartphone.You can read GPS information and record your visit. You can collect stamps of each temple by recording the worship. There are up to 3 types of stamps for each temple. Lets aim for completeness.■ Digital red stampIt is possible to purchase "Digital Red Stamp" as a special red stamp only in the app. Since the red stamp is a proof of worship at the temple, you can purchase the digital red stamp by recording the worship with the app.■ Camera & AlbumYou can take a picture of the temple from this application.
