History
Overlooking the waters of Teradomari in Nagaoka, this temple has long been the spiritual center for fishing communities seeking safe harbor and abundant catch. Fishermen have faithfully visited before each voyage, entrusting their loved ones and livelihoods to the compassionate Buddha here. The protective blessings extended to seafarers persist through all conditions.
