History

Byakko

Known as the Temple of Ocean Eyes, it has healed vision afflictions combining ancient medical wisdom and Buddhist power. Countless suffering souls have found relief within these walls. Through long ages I have watched blind eyes regain sight, their joyful tears flowing like ocean waters.
