History

Byakko

The Koyasu Jizo, revered since ancient times, stands as a symbol of mercy and protection for mothers and children. In Uda, countless expectant mothers have offered prayers at this sacred statue seeking safe delivery and the healthy growth of their children. The compassionate gaze of Jizo Bodhisattva has blessed generations with the gift of new life and protection through the sacred bond between mother and child. I have witnessed the profound gratitude in the hearts of all who visit this holy place, their prayers answered with divine grace and maternal blessing.
