History

Byakko

This temple, as I know it, is Kosenji Temple, which has etched its history alongside the hot spring steam of Kusatsu Onsen. It has prospered as a hot spring resort since ancient times, with many people visiting to pray for healing from illness. The efficacy of the hot springs, combined with the sacred power of the temple, heals both the mind and body of visitors. I too would like to experience these hot springs once. Silence is maintained within the temple grounds, allowing for quiet prayer.
