History
A temple in Minami-Chita, near the southern coast of the Chita Peninsula, dedicated to the celestial dragon. Like the dragon soaring through the heavens, this temple bestows free and powerful fortune upon its devotees. In this land close to the sea, the blessing of its abundance exists alongside the peril of its depths. The dragon deity, master of waters, protects the safety of all people. The fortune of those who worship here rises like the ascending dragon. Ancient legends speak of the dragon's form being visible in the skies above this temple.
