The temple where the "Eternal Flame" is located

The Hall of Eternal Spiritual Fire enshrines Acala. The "Eternal Fire" that has been burning for over 1,200 years is a fire that was lit by Kobo Daishi Kukai during his training at Mount Misen in Miyajima during the Heian period. The water boiled by this fire is said to be sacred water and has the power to cure all illnesses. It is also used as the kindling for the "Flame of Peace" at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park as a symbol of peace.
