History

Byakko

Teirin-ji, built in the land of Shinjiro surrounded by the beautiful mountains of Hakuba, is a sacred place with deep connections to mountain faith. As the place name Hakuba (White Horse) suggests, this region has been venerated as a sacred peak since ancient times. This temple has been carefully maintained by the local people, who know both the blessings and harshness of the mountains, preserving it with gratitude and reverence toward nature. It is cherished as a place where one can pay respects in peaceful quiet, accompanied by the beautiful scenery that changes with each season.
