History
When I gazed upon the fierce waves of Byobugaraura, I saw the Kaisenjoji standing upon its rocky shore. Here, the fishers' prayers for safe harbor amid the sea's bounty and wrath find their center. The white waves crashing like standing folding screens—hence its name—speak of awe and gratitude toward the sea. For all who venture upon the waters, this temple is a refuge where the ocean's protection is granted. Seek its blessing when you face the sea's call.
