History

Byakko

Named after a single sound, this temple teaches the power of words and music. It is a place where human voices, Buddhist chants, and all manner of sounds converge in harmony. Those seeking to refine their speech, develop musical talent, or master the art of communication have long visited here. The ancient wisdom that sound purifies body and spirit continues to guide pilgrims to this sacred space.
