History
Tenjouji is a place where from this earth one imagines stairs to heaven, seeking supreme happiness by elevating the heart. Standing in Otaru's Irifune, this temple has long received prayers of those wishing their hearts to reach heaven. The path to heaven lies not in distant places, but appears before us when our hearts are harmonized.
