History

Byakko

Being welcomed from the western direction means experiencing Amida Buddha's compassionate hand extended in greeting. Enveloped in Oharano's verdant beauty, this temple has quietly shone as a place of prayer for rebirth since ancient times. The white fox has witnessed countless souls find salvation here. Resting in Nishikyo's tranquility, boundless compassion continues to descend upon this sacred sanctuary.
