History
True to its name, this shrine has flourished alongside the ships that sail the seas, becoming the spiritual anchor of maritime communities. Merchants' prayers and fishermen's devotion have accumulated here, allowing thousands of vessels to return safely to port. The shrine's light continues to guide seafarers as dawn breaks over the harbor.
