History

Byakko

This sacred temple was founded in ancient times when the Bodhisattva Kannon descended upon this land. The devoted people of Takasaki built a hall to honor this divine presence. Through centuries of devotion, pilgrims have sought blessings within these walls. The temple stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the compassionate teachings of Kannon.
