History
Houryuu Kesssha, standing in the mountains of Ashibetsu, is a sacred place that preserves the dharma and embodies the power of the dragon. In this former coal mining town, it has watched over the earth's energy sleeping beneath the ground, continuously praying for the safety of extraction and the wellbeing of all people.
