History

Byakko

Koryuji, as an old fox knows, is a temple symbolizing the sanctity of dragons. Located in Imabari, surrounded by islands, it receives the blessings of the sea and enshrines the spiritual power of water. The dragon presides over all water, and merchants too have long journeyed here seeking the dragon deity's protection. Washed by the winds of the Seto Inland Sea, it has gathered faith across generations. This sacred place reflects a certain purity even to an ancient one's discerning eye.
