History
Rooted deeply in ancient indigenous history, this temple in Shigurokotsu radiates illuminating light. Its name speaks truth—through light's power, all hardship is revealed and the path made clear. The spiritual potency here runs especially strong; historically, Ainu people journeyed here to offer their devotions. Where two cultures converge, remarkable miracles manifest.
