History

Byakko

This ancient temple standing high on the mountains of Kako has radiated sacred light since the Hakuho era, harboring treasures designated as National Properties. Through countless ages observed, all who visit are enveloped in profound silence and solemn reverence, their hearts cleansed and renewed. The light woven through ancient wooden architecture embodies the Buddha's very compassion. Prayers offered here traverse mountains and return as gentle blessings, fulfilling all sincere wishes.
