Fumonji

Fumonji temple contains four ancient wooden statues, including representations of Amida Buddha and Shaka Buddha, recognized as National Important Cultural Assets.

The temple maintains a standing history of over 1,300 years, marking its establishment during the early development of Buddhism in Japan's medieval period.

The temple introduced the tradition of distributing hand-cut paper images of Buddhas with commemorative stamps, setting a pattern for other temples across Japan.

Visitors can access the Main Hall and Daishi Hall during the annual Maple Festival, which runs from late November through early December.

The temple grounds feature Himalayan cherry trees that produce pink blossoms during late autumn and winter, contrasting with the seasonal maple foliage.
