Fudankō-in, buddhistischer Tempel in Japan
Fudankō-in is a Buddhist temple in Yasui-chō with traditional wooden buildings and well-maintained gardens. The grounds include a prayer hall, separate baths for men and women, parking, and overnight accommodation where visitors can experience activities such as sutra copying and morning ceremonies.
The temple was founded in the year 906 and is also known as Yamashina Miyake Bodaiji and Yamashina Betsuin. Its principal deity is Fudō Myōō, and Emperor Toba is honored within its walls, reflecting its long-standing significance in the region.
Locals visit to light incense and offer prayers as part of their daily spiritual practice. The temple serves as a gathering place where families come together for ceremonies and celebrations rooted in Buddhist tradition.
The site is easily accessible by bus, with the nearest stop at Renge-dani on the route to Okunoin-mae. Check-in occurs between 3 and 5 in the afternoon, checkout is by 10 in the morning, and the morning ceremony begins at 7 in summer.
The temple offers shukubo overnight stays, traditional accommodations on the grounds where visitors can sleep as pilgrims once did. This experience lets guests witness the daily religious practices of the monks and immerse themselves in the quiet of the place.
