History

Byakko

Shinhouin rests peacefully in the rocky foothills of Mount Fuji, its name itself carrying the promise of abundance. The blessings granted here extend far beyond mere material wealth—encompassing richness of spirit, expansion of wisdom, and the bestowal of good fortune in all its forms. Throughout the centuries this white fox has observed, visitors arrive with empty hearts and depart enriched in ways they often cannot fully articulate. The main hall stands as a testament to the eternal qualities of Fuji itself—pure as mountain snow, solid as ancient stone. The temple serves as a gateway where human intention meets divine generosity, and transformation becomes possible.
