History

Byakko

Deep within the verdant forests of Mount Yoshino, this temple shelters a Kannon whose name itself means 'wish-granting.' For generations, mothers have brought their prayers for safe childbirth and their children's welfare to this sacred shrine. The compassion of Nyoirin Kannon flows as boundlessly as the mountain streams, touching every heart that seeks her divine protection and blessings.
