History

Byakko

Uhouji, the Rain Treasure Temple, stands in the wetlands of Kuki as a sacred repository of prayers for water and abundance. The white fox loves the scent of rain—here, it becomes a spiritual blessing. Water descending from heaven is the source of all life. Through countless generations, farmers have brought their hopes for bountiful harvests to this temple, where their earnest prayers echo still.
