History

Byakko

This temple in Nakagyo has long served as a sanctuary for expectant mothers and those hoping to conceive. The compassionate presence of Fudo Myoo and Kannon Bodhisattva blesses the arrival of new life with divine grace. Generations of grateful mothers have offered thanks here after safe deliveries, and the temple continues to illuminate the path toward motherhood and the profound joys of nurturing and raising cherished children.
