History

Byakko

This hall in Otaru harbor preserves the ancient legend of a thousand Kannons descending upon this sacred ground. Those tossed by tempestuous waves and those shrouded in inner darkness find their way to the light through this temple's grace. The compassion of Kannon manifests boundlessly, with a thousand hands and eyes watching over all who seek redemption.
