History

Byakko

Yakuo-an, as its name suggests, is a hermitage enshrining a Buddha for recovery from illness and longevity. Since ancient times, people suffering from illness and those wishing for a long life have visited and offered prayers. In a quiet environment, by touching the Buddha's compassion, one can likely obtain healing of mind and body. One should quietly join their hands in prayer, filled with wishes for good health.
