普光寺, Buddhist temple in Minamiuonuma, Japan
Fukoji Temple stands next to Bishamonten Hall, with both structures connected by a covered corridor displaying intricate ceiling paintings and Buddhist statues.
The temple complex originated in 807 when Sakanoue no Tamuramaro established it, and the current buildings were reconstructed in 1937 following a fire in 1931.
The temple hosts the Urasa Bishamonten Hadaka Oshiai Festival in March, where participants engage in traditional pushing contests while chanting specific prayers.
Located 5 minutes on foot from JR Urasa Station, the temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM and maintains parking spaces for 20 cars and 3 buses.
The temple houses a secret Buddha statue that each head priest can display only once during their tenure, maintaining centuries of tradition.
