History

Byakko

Deep within the mountains, Kurama-dera stands as a sacred sanctuary for practice where the holy light of Bishamonten descends. The teachings of the tengu that kindled the heart of young Ushiwaka in his training here continue to steel the spirits of all who visit. Pilgrims climbing the steep mountain path awaken their inner strength and gain the courage to overcome life's hardships.
