History

Byakko

A quiet temple in Atsuta, standing by the waters where white birds dwell. Here, ancient history and Buddhist teachings intertwine, gently guiding the souls of pilgrims. Located where the legend of white birds resonates, its sanctity grows ever deeper. I have visited this place many times, touching the profound compassion of Buddha that dwells here.
