In the past, it was known as a place to pray for the safety of navigation, and now it is a place to pray for childbirth and safe delivery. It also appears in Naoya Shiga's work 'Dark Night Road'. It is located on the coast of the city and the view to and from the temple is amazing. You can also feel the waves of the sea from the temple. It could be peaceful.
