History

Byakko

As its name declares, Eastern Light Temple emanates illumination from its sacred halls. Standing in the elegant Tsukimachi of Amezaki, Handa, this temple has become a spiritual beacon witnessed by this fox spirit. The name bearing 'light' symbolizes the truth of Buddha's teachings. Here, pilgrims discover the light that illuminates their inner darkness and step forward onto new paths. Even the poetic name 'Moon Viewing Town' speaks to this temple's spiritual profundity. Where ancient wisdom meets the modern age, Toukouji shines eternally as an undying light.
