Ongaku-ji, Buddhist temple in Chichibu, Japan
Located within Chichibu Muse Park, Ongaku-ji temple features a central hall encompassed by trees and a large ceremonial bell with 108 nipple heads.
In 1884, the temple bell of Ongaku-ji signaled the beginning of a significant protest known as the Chichibu Incident, where farmers gathered to voice their concerns.
The temple forms part of the Chichibu 34 Kannon Temple Circuit, drawing musicians who seek blessings for their musical careers at this spiritually significant location.
Visitors can reach Ongaku-ji by taking a 45-minute walk from Chichibu Railway Station, with the temple office available at 0494-25-3018 for additional information.
The temple's name originated from 13 founding saints who interpreted the sound of wind through pine trees as musical notes from the Bodhisattva.
