Fukū-in

Fukū-in temple contains a wooden seated statue of Fukukensaku Kannon, measuring 103.9 centimeters tall with jade Buddhist eyes from the Kamakura period.

The temple experienced destruction during the 1854 Ansei earthquake, leading to abandonment until monk Mitani Kōgen initiated repairs during the Taisho period.

This temple functions as a sanctuary for individuals seeking to end relationships, particularly supporting women who need protection from difficult situations.

The temple opens exclusively during spring and autumn exhibitions, requiring advance reservations and an entrance fee of 600 yen for individual visits.

A vermillion Shinto torii gate stands within the Buddhist temple gardens, demonstrating the integration of two religious traditions in Japanese architecture.
