History
A branch temple of Shinshu Otani-ha standing at Sapporo's heart. In the midst of urban bustle at Minami 7-jo Nishi 8-chome, it maintains pristine spiritual purity. What I perceive is the profound weight of faith carried by all who visit. The teachings of the Pure Land manifest here in their purest form. Those who find peace here, freed from the world's clamor, continue to fill this sanctuary with their endless prayers.
