Shirataki Fudōson

Shirataki Fudōson is a Buddhist temple in Negishi-chō featuring traditional wooden structures and decorative details arranged around a central prayer hall. The grounds include multiple buildings and architectural elements typical of classical Japanese temple design.

The temple originated when a founding monk discovered a natural spring at the location, establishing it as a spiritual center from its early days. This foundational event shaped the site's spiritual purpose.

The temple holds meaning for those interested in agricultural history through its connection to Konyo Aoki, a scholar who changed Japanese farming practices. This link to the past shapes how people view and visit the grounds today.

The temple grounds are accessible by four bus routes that stop directly at the entrance from nearby train stations. Visitors can explore the site on foot at their own pace.

The grounds contain a waterfall and pond system that plays a quiet role in the temple's daily rhythm. Many visitors pass by these water features without realizing their significance to the site.
