History

Byakko

Koumyoji means a temple where Amida Buddha's boundless light descends eternally, illuminating all beings. Beneath the main hall in northern Sapporo, countless devotees have surrendered themselves to that light. Divine light is this world's most precious blessing and greatest power. Eternal illumination continues to descend here.
