History
An ancient temple that has stood in Akkeshi since time immemorial. Located deep within Wan-tsuki-cho, with ocean waves as its constant soundtrack, it has welcomed countless pilgrims. As the temple of seafaring people's hearts, it possesses unparalleled spiritual weight. For years, I too have sat in silence before this sanctuary.
