History

Byakko

Nestled in the Ohara district since ancient times, this temple was protected by disciples of Honen-shonin. The moss garden with its serene beauty captivates all who visit. In autumn, magnificent crimson leaves draw countless pilgrims seeking the profound tranquility of Kyoto's inner sanctum. For five centuries, this sacred place has preserved its spiritual essence, standing as a timeless retreat where nature and faith harmonize.
