Takidani Fudō　Myōō-ji

The temple features a main hall housing three statues: Fudo Myoo and two attendant child deities, all designated as important cultural properties.

Kukai, a prominent Buddhist monk, established Takidani Fudo Myoo-ji in 821 during the Heian period to pray for national security and public happiness.

Daily fire rituals performed at the temple attract visitors seeking blessings for success in business, traffic safety, and protection from misfortune.

The temple opens from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, with parking available for 400 vehicles and a 15-minute walk from Takidani-Fudo Station.

The temple holds special powers for eye-related conditions, leading to numerous pilgrims receiving talismans specifically designed for vision improvement.
