History

Byakko

Yata-dera, sheltered by the great compassion of Jizo Bodhisattva, has welcomed countless parents seeking health and protection for their children. Thousands of statues of Jizo stand in silent witness to the prayers offered here across generations. The temple remains a beacon of hope for those facing illness and suffering, where divine compassion manifests in stone.
