History

Byakko

Enclosed within verdant bamboo groves, this temple has long been cherished as a sacred sanctuary where wishes are granted by the compassionate Jizō Bodhisattva. The wind flowing through the bamboo carries the power to purify hearts and dispel confusion. Those who arrive with hopeful hearts find themselves enfolded in divine mercy, guiding their desires toward fulfillment.
