History
Honryuu means returning to one's primordial nature, soaring high like a dragon. This temple in eastern Sapporo preserves the ancient dharma of the primordial vow, uplifting many lost souls. It continues to illuminate the questions: what is truth, what is one's true self. The protection of the dragon realm dwells here eternally.
