DescriptionThe head temple of Komyo Nenbutsu Shingo Shoshu, a Buddhist denomination in the Shingon tradition, stands at the southern foot of Mt. Kizan. Fudo Myoo is enshrined in the Main Hall, while Zenpo Hall houses a vividly painted wooden Giant Fudo Myoo by Houn Nishida, measuring about 6 m high and 7 m wide. The grounds also include a large five-story pagoda and a circuit modeled on the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, reflecting the temple's ties to Shugendo mountain practice.
