History

Byakko

Cradled in the arms of Iwakura's mountains, Daichoji offers refuge to those walking the Zen path. Ancient practices breathe here, and in profound silence, visitors encounter their true self. The Buddha's teaching flows like light, clearing confusion from the hearts of all who seek in earnest devotion.
