History
This temple, blending seamlessly into Onomichi's historic landscape, is deeply connected to the maritime heritage of this port town. Having received the prayers of countless seafarers throughout the ages, it has always been a guiding light for people's hearts. I have dwelled in this sanctuary for countless years, quietly watching over the wishes of all pilgrims. Despite surrendering to history's currents, this temple maintains an eternal radiance that never dims.
