Fumon-ji

Fumon-ji stands as a traditional Buddhist temple featuring wooden structures, tiled roofs, and gardens with ancient trees including a 350-year-old pine.

Founded during the Eiroku era between 1558-1570, this Shingon sect temple relocated to its current location in 1984 due to river construction work.

The temple serves as the 19th sacred site of the Musashi Province 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, hosting grand opening ceremonies every twelve years.

Located about 20 minutes walking distance from Yashio Station on the Tsukuba Express line, with parking facilities available for visitors arriving by car.

Houses a centuries-old pine tree called 'Fumon-ji's Taikō Matsuba' and maintains a modern Bamboo Forest Cemetery within its landscaped grounds.
