History

Byakko

Inheriting the teachings of the priest Hōnen, this temple guides seekers toward the Pure Land through Amitabha Buddha's original vow. Nestled in the secluded Shika-no-tani valley, the continuous chanting of nembutsu echoes through the ages. The sincere devotion resonates with all who enter this sacred sanctuary.
