DescriptionTwo imposing Niō guardian statues, each more than nine shaku tall, stand in the Niomon Gate of Kihara Fudoson (Chojuji), a Tendai Buddhist prayer temple. Ascending the steps, visitors are greeted by the Agyo and Ungyo guardians. The temple's principal image is a standing Fudo Myoo traditionally attributed to Saicho, and fire-walking rites are held during its annual festival on February 28. The gate lies on the normal visitor route through the grounds, which are open free of charge from 7:00 to 17:00.
