Fudarakusan-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashimuro County, Japan
The Fudarakusan-ji temple stands near the shores of Wakayama Prefecture, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and ornate religious decorations throughout its structures.
Founded by Indian monk Ragyō Shōnin after a shipwreck on the Kumano coast, this temple dates back over a thousand years and became part of UNESCO World Heritage in 2004.
The temple honors Senju Kannon, a Buddhist deity of compassion, and maintains strong connections to the spiritual traditions of the Kumano region.
Located at 348 Hamanomiya in Nachikatsuura Town, the temple welcomes visitors interested in exploring its grounds and learning about Buddhist practices in Japan.
From the 9th to 18th centuries, 60-year-old monks participated in Fudarakutokai, sailing into the ocean in specially designed boats seeking the mythical Mount Potalaka.
