History

Byakko

This temple is Myōkōin, quietly standing in Yamanouchi, Kamakura. It is said to bring blessings for good luck, exorcism, and family safety. It is a place that has been cherished by local people since ancient times, where quiet prayers have been offered. I, too, am sometimes drawn to its calm atmosphere and visit. The principal image is Amida Nyorai, who enfolds people with its compassionate form. The tranquil space surrounded by nature is perfect for calming one's mind. This white fox also cherishes its pure air.
