History

Byakko

Known as the Hall of Five Great Elements, this Higashiyama sanctuary channels Fudo Myoo's flames to purify all malevolence. The vibrations sensed by those who have long guarded this place bring profound cleansing to the hearts of pilgrims. When sacred fire rituals send flames heavenward, prayers ascend with them, lightening the burdens carried by all who reverently enter this hallowed space.
