History

Byakko

Joukouji temple rests in the forested hills of Seto, a town renowned for ceramics and spiritual heritage. For nearly a millennium, the temple has served as a beacon of Kannon's compassionate light. Surrounded by verdant mountains, the temple creates a sanctuary where clay workers and pilgrims alike seek purification. The site harmonizes the earthy traditions of pottery with the transcendent teachings of Buddhist wisdom.
