History
As its name suggests, this temple possesses the power to correct the heart's orientation toward sunlight. Situated in Shimoda, it grants the power to turn even dark hearts toward brightness. Bathed in the sun of southern Izu, it directs pilgrims' hearts toward that light. Even in life's difficulties, if the heart turns toward the light, the path surely opens. The brilliance of sunward-facing hearts shines eternally.
