History

Byakko

Kyoten-ji in Kamitokuyoshi centers on the scriptures taught by Buddha as its faith core. The halls housing thousands of sutra scrolls have functioned as repositories of boundless wisdom. In Tango, the teachings of sutras transcend time, continuing to be transmitted as seekers visit seeking truth. As a sacred place illuminated by scripture light, its compassionate radiance shines eternally.
