History

Byakko

Western Pure Land Temple, rooted in Daigo, guides pilgrims toward the Pure Land in the West. Standing high in the Daigo mountains, it has witnessed countless beings take their passage to rebirth. Those who visit carry in their eyes both acceptance of separation from this world and profound faith in the next. In Fushimi's embrace, the aspiration for Pure Land never ceases, accumulating endless prayers.
