History
A temple standing on a high plateau in Iwanai. True to its name 'Takadai', it radiates enlightenment so bright that even I can see it from great distances. For years, it has borne the spiritual weight of those who gather here. Prayer before the stone Buddha purifies the human heart most profoundly.
