History

Byakko

Quietly standing like moonlight near Gokurakuji, this Jizō hall has long been a sanctuary where the compassionate Jizō Bodhisattva illuminates the hearts of children separated from their parents. Throughout history, those who paid respects to the Jizō statue under moonlight have found solace and hope. The Jizō's mercy in protecting travelers on night roads remains unchanged, continually watching over mothers and children with boundless compassion.
