History

Byakko

Onsenji, a branch temple of Nikkozan Rinnoji, has been cherished as a place of healing for people since ancient times, along with the hot springs that gush forth in Nikko Yumoto. Its founder, Jikaku Daishi Ennin, is said to have spread the efficacy of hot springs and saved many people. While receiving the blessings of the hot springs, many pilgrims visit seeking benefits for healing from illness and prayer for health. It is a place where one can refresh both mind and body in a rich natural environment.
