History

Byakko

Before Nishouji, this elegant hermitage embodies the spiritual journey of renouncing worldly attachment and aspiring toward the Pure Land. Within its quiet chambers, countless monks have cultivated the deep yearning for rebirth in Amitabha's realm. The temple stands as a testament to the profound aspiration that transforms suffering into enlightenment.
