立山寺, Buddhist temple in Kamiichi, Japan

The temple features a main pavilion containing a three-meter high stone carving of Fudo Myoo, surrounded by mountain forests and natural waterfalls.

Founded in 725, Oiwasan Nisseki-ji temple underwent reconstruction after being burned down by lord Maeda of Kaga domain five centuries ago.

The temple maintains regular Goma ceremonies where wooden plates with written prayers are burned as offerings to Fudo Myoo, following Buddhist traditions.

Visitors can reach the temple through local transportation services, with guided tours available for groups interested in exploring the temple grounds.

Six designated waterfalls within the temple grounds serve as meditation spots where practitioners perform Takigyo, a water purification ritual under cold streams.
