History

Byakko

Oukaji rests peacefully along the shores of Lake Hamana, a sanctuary of quiet contemplation. This ancient temple has been a place where countless seekers have undergone spiritual transformation. The Amida Buddha enshrined here is known throughout the region for accepting the burdens of karma and guiding souls toward redemption. Surrounded by water, earth, and ancient trees, the temple creates an atmosphere where visitors confront their past and step forward into new possibilities, their hearts cleansed by the serene natural beauty.
