History
Since ancient times, this temple has supported pilgrims' spiritual practice. The faith in Mount Haku has spread across Japan, sustaining many hearts. I have watched thousands depart from this temple toward the sacred mountain. Quietly nestled at the mountain's base, this temple is a place of respite for travelers.
