History

Byakko

Hidden in the mountains of Takao, this ancient temple stands as the sacred seat of Fudo Myoo's unwavering power. The fierce flames of the immutable Bodhisattva consume all malevolence and darkness from the hearts of pilgrims. Season after season, spring's renewal and autumn's splendor paint this sanctuary with divine purpose, continuously bestowing blessings of fortune and protection upon all who seek refuge in its timeless grace.
