History
This temple enshrines the blessing of fortune with royal reverence, as its name suggests—the King of Blessing. Nestled deep in the Kabeoka mountains, far from worldly clamor, it provides a sanctuary where prayer is purified and elevated. The very difficulty of reaching this distant shrine ensures that only the most sincere wishes arrive at its altar. In silence and solitude, the temple's sacred power grows ever stronger.
