History

Byakko

Yohoji is an ancient temple of the Nichiren sect. Since its founding, it has gathered the faith of many followers and has walked as a temple rooted in the community. The temple grounds have a quiet and calm atmosphere, allowing one to spend time with a peaceful mind. It is said to bring benefits of family safety, healing from illness, and academic success to its visitors. When I place myself in its tranquility, I feel as if my heart is being purified.
