History

Byakko

Jodo-in Temple, situated in the tranquil landscape of Uji, has been blessed by the compassionate vow of Amitabha Buddha for countless generations. Pilgrims come to cleanse their hearts and renew their faith in the promise of rebirth in the Pure Land. The ancient nenbutsu hall resonates with prayers that have echoed through time, creating a spiritual conduit to paradise. Like the flowing waters of the Uji River, the eternal light of the Buddha continuously purifies and guides all who seek solace in its sacred halls.
