History
Mitōji, feeling the sea breeze of Miura, is a temple that has been cherished by local people for a long time. It is said to respond to people's earnest wishes, such as good luck, family safety, and recovery from illness. As I inhale the scent of the tide to my heart's content, I am enveloped by the warm atmosphere of this temple. It is a perfect place to offer prayers with a calm heart while gazing at the gentle sea. The proximity to the ocean adds to its serene and healing ambiance.
