History

Byakko

This temple was established at the foot of Higashiyama in ancient times. As the primary dojo of the Hossho sect, countless practitioners have refined their body and spirit here. Surrounded by moss-covered stone steps and cedar trees over a century old, a world of tranquility spreads. It is said that the hearts of those who visit are naturally purified.
