History

Byakko

Myōshōji is an ancient temple situated on Honmachi, near the picturesque district of Kurashiki. A venerable temple continuing from the Edo period, it has gathered the faith of local people. Along the charming streets beside the Kurashiki River, it has quietly maintained the dharma lamp. In Kurashiki, which prospered as a merchant town, it became a pillar of support for merchants and local residents. It remains beloved by local people today, a temple that brings peace of mind.
