History

Byakko

Honsho-ji, standing long in Kanaisenen of Kamo-cho, bears a name meaning illumination of the original mind. With deep Pure Land faith, it has guided sincere believers for centuries as a sacred place enveloped in Buddha's light. By the Kizugawa, this temple continues to shine as a place where Buddha's compassion constantly descends and saves suffering beings.
