History
Standing in the ancient sacred ground of Oharano, this temple embodies the profound blessings of fortune and protection. The vibrations sensed through ages of guardianship deeply purify visitors' hearts and guide them toward new paths of possibility. Fudo Myoo's fierce flames consume all malevolence, leaving only light and hope within transformed souls. Spring blossoms and autumn moonlight shine brightly around this sanctuary, and with each passing season, its divine blessings grow ever deeper.
