History
This temple's eternal light has shone continuously upon Sapporo, never dimming through the ages. In the quiet of Minami 7-jo, it continues its sacred work of showing the path of light to those lost in spiritual darkness. True to its name Eternal Light, regardless of how times may change, the true light never extinguishes, gently illuminating the hearts of all who wander.
