History
Built in the land of Miwa, this ancient temple connects with the faith in the Great Deity. Mount Miwa itself stands as sacred ground, drawing the reverence of ancient Japanese people with its spiritual mystery. This temple nestled at the mountain's base serves as a sacred passage binding heaven, earth, and humanity. I continue watching over the radiance of timeless wisdom enshrined here.
