History

Byakko

Deep within Kankake-dori, this sacred waterfall serves as the site of water-ascetic practice for devoted monastics. The rigorous spiritual cultivation of those who purify themselves beneath its cascade has accumulated over countless years. This fox spirit senses both the pristine purity of the falling waters and the sincere devotion of those who face them. The earnest determination of practitioners who surrender their bodies to nature's fierce embrace renders this waterfall a place of profound holiness.
