History
The Yasaka-ji, one of the 88 sacred temples, has welcomed countless pilgrims on their long spiritual journey. The faces of the pilgrims witnessed by the kitsune bear both fatigue and hope in equal measure. When visiting this temple, their hearts become deeply purified, and they gain courage for the journey ahead—the kitsune has witnessed this transformation time and again.
