History

Byakko

The Houshouin I discovered in the Kamiosho area of Shodoshima is filled with life and blessing, as its name proclaims. The compassionate light of Buddha, shining through the principal image enshrined here, heals the hearts of the afflicted and protects those who wish for extended years. It has shone as a beacon of hope for the island's people through countless centuries. Trust your life's fate to this temple's Buddha, and safety shall surely be yours.
