History
Like the North Star illuminating Hakodate's night sky, this temple has long guided those who wander in darkness. The light of Myoken Bodhisattva transforms the darkest paths into brilliant day, directing all toward righteousness. Through ages, this faith has taken deep root in northern hearts, passing from generation to generation.
