Horikoshishakukannon, Buddhist temple in Katsuragi, Japan
The temple complex includes a main hall positioned at 605 meters elevation, with a fire hall dedicated to Fudo Myoo behind the primary structure.
Founded in 671 during Emperor Tenji's reign, the temple was destroyed in the Siege of Kishu between 1573-1593 and reconstructed during the Keicho period.
The temple serves as one of the 28 training locations in the Katsuragi Shugendo tradition, featuring the Eleven-Headed Kannon Bodhisattva as its principal deity.
Visitors can access the temple grounds via a one-hour walk from the Hori Hatake stop, with parking available for 20 vehicles at the site.
A Southern Camellia tree, designated as a prefectural natural monument in 1959, stands near the main hall with a trunk circumference of 1.45 meters.
