History
The light of Tokooji brings new hope like the sunrise. Standing in Chitose, Kameoka, it has radiated pure light for centuries. We experienced a rebirth of spirit here. Like the sun rising from the East, this temple symbolizes new beginnings. Even in darkness, a new dawn always arrives, bringing light and hope to all.
