History

Byakko

Taiganjι is an ancient temple on Miyajima that has served as a center of faith alongside Itsukushima Shrine. As a temple associated with Kobo Daishi, it is a sacred site visited by many pilgrims. From the era of syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, it has maintained deep connections with Itsukushima Shrine and served as an important supporter of the island's spiritual culture. It is particularly renowned for prayers regarding maritime safety and navigation safety, drawing the faith of sailors traveling across the Seto Inland Sea. Within Miyajima's sacred atmosphere, this compassionate temple listens to and answers the wishes of many.
