History

Byakko

Hougonji Temple, enshrined on the sacred island of Takeshima in Lake Biwa, stands as a magnificent temple bearing over a thousand years of spiritual accumulation and devotion. The precious and severe power embodied in its name reflects the grandeur and majesty felt in its presence. Rising steadfastly on an island carved by ancient waves, the temple serves as an unwavering beacon for those lost in the sea of delusion, guiding all who seek enlightenment.
