History
Kaicho Temple carries the deep history of Shimizu on its shoulders. It has protected the old port town's prosperity and carried fishermen's prayers to heaven. Standing at the boundary between sea and land, my duty is to bestow the blessings of both. Even now, my light shines unfailingly for those who sail these waters.
