As we prepare to welcome the sacred busts of the Shinnyo Parents and the Two Dojis from the sacred site of Oyasono next June, we’d like to listen to the voices of as many people as possible, and thus came up with a questionnaire for which we would like to ask for your cooperation. The information about the due date and how to submit the questionnaire, etc. can be found in the questionnaire itself.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the HT office if you have any questions and comments. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
