History
High in Funami-cho stands Koruyu-ji, an ancient temple preserving the teachings of Zen. Standing in this elevated place overlooking Hakodate, it cleanses the hearts of pilgrims like flowing water. It teaches the power of water symbolized by the dragon, the dignity of all that flows. Its temple hall continues to shine across the ages.
