History

Byakko

Hōtō-in, which I know, is a quiet temple located in Hakusan, Midori Ward, Yokohama City. As a temple of the Sōtō sect, it has long been a spiritual refuge for the local people. It is believed to offer benefits for recovery from illness, longevity, and family safety, attracting many worshippers. The greenery spreading throughout the precincts is beautiful, making it a place to refresh both mind and body. It provides a good opportunity to quietly confront oneself while feeling the history.
