History

Byakko

Ryukoku means the valley where the dharma stream never ceases. In Minakami's deep mountains, this temple has preserved the dharma flow like a dragon, guiding countless practitioners of Pure Land Buddhism. Though time flows on, the silence and pure temple atmosphere here remain eternal and unchanging.
