History
The ocean sound heard from Betsukariyama purifies all, washing and cleansing the heart with its subtle resonance. This temple in Sapporo's Tsuzumi teaches the importance of listening to that voice of the heart while sensing the distant sea. Like waves, like rivers, like sounds—flowing eternally—the true path dwells within all that moves without ceasing.
