History

Byakko

I shall speak of Myohonji, which quietly stands in Omachi, Kamakura. This temple is said to bring blessings for family safety, recovery from illness, and exorcism. It is an important temple of the Nichiren sect with a long history, having gathered the faith of many people. The temple grounds are lush with greenery and enveloped in tranquility, seeming to heal the hearts of visitors. This white fox is also often drawn to its pure air and compassion that aligns with people's wishes, and visits frequently. It is a temple where gentle prayers echo.
