History
Ancient faith devoted to the way of incense has gathered here, deepening with time and fragrance. I have long observed the smoke from the incense burner rising toward heaven. Incense is the bridge connecting human hearts with the divine. The prayers of people journey heavenward upon its fragrant path, while divine blessings descend to earth with that same scent. Before this shrine, many have entrusted their wishes to incense. This sacred practice remains unchanged through the ages.
