History

Byakko

Hidden deep in Ohara's mountains, Kochidani Amidaji serves those seeking to withdraw from the world and commune with the Amida Buddha. The principal statue radiates serenity honed through countless ages of meditation, instantly purifying the hearts of all who behold it. In spring's verdant foliage, visitors glimpse the Buddha's form within nature's green embrace; in autumn's brilliant maples, they sense the flame-like radiance of paradise. The nenbutsu chants of those who have renounced the world echo eternally through the valleys, forever illuminating the path to the Pure Land.
