History

Byakko

The Mao Hall at Kurama Temple's inner sanctuary has served as a sacred site for ascetics seeking communion with Sonten since ancient times. Though bearing the name of the demon king, it represents the cosmic origin of all existence. The spiritual disciplines here purify the soul and illuminate the depths of every pilgrim's heart.
