History
Standing as guardian gate of Minobuzan, the Nio gate has welcomed pilgrims through the ages. The white fox felt the depth of faith in the fierce gaze of the two guardian kings. Seasons have painted the gate, countless feet have crossed its threshold, and the fervent wishes of pilgrims gather and dwell here eternally.
