甲子大黒天本山, Buddhist temple in Yonezawa, Japan.

The temple stands on a hill overlooking Onogawa Hot Springs, with its buildings characterized by vermillion pillars and traditional Japanese architecture.

During the Daido period, Kobo Daishi received a divine message to carve Kinoe-ne Daikokuten while establishing Mount Yudono as a sacred site.

The temple maintains the merged traditions of Shugendo mountain asceticism and the spiritual practices of the Uesugi clan's prayer center.

Visitors can participate in activities such as creating prayer beads with natural stones and receiving special calligraphy stamps between 9:00 and 17:00.

Each year, the temple issues newly designed calligraphy stamps, including a dragon protection stamp that takes two years to complete.
