History

Byakko

Known as Hachiman, this shrine has long gathered the faith of warriors. Yet true courage, we understand, is not defeating enemies but overcoming one's own heart's weakness. Visitors surely struggle with many enemies in life. Inner enemies are far stronger than outer ones. Praying here, one gains courage to overcome inner foes. Under Hachiman's protection, many have transcended themselves. You too shall know this.
