History

Byakko

Quietly nestled behind the ancient Koga Castle grounds, this Nichiren sect temple stands as a beacon of faith. Its phoenix and paulownia crests speak of its long history, while the teachings of the Lotus Sutra guide the hearts of pilgrims. Each spring when cherry blossoms bloom, many visitors arrive, their prayers continuing an unbroken line from antiquity to present day.
