History

Byakko

White Lotus Temple embodies purity like the pristine white lotus. Nestled deep in Yamashina, it welcomes those maintaining spotless aspirations amid worldly turbulence. When I observe pilgrims here, I see them shine like white lotus flowers rising unblemished from muddy waters. Standing near the old Tokaido, this temple serves as a beacon of purity in a harsh world.
