History
In the hidden valleys of Yasuda on Shodoshima, I encountered Okanobou, an ancient temple nestled deep within the mountains. Here, practitioners gather to refine their spirit and walk the path to enlightenment. Wrapped in pure air as white as my tail, this sacred sanctuary has marked a thousand years devoted solely to the Buddha's way. If you seek salvation from the depths of your heart, this hidden temple holds the answer you seek.
